The IDF's Arabic-language spokesman, Avichay Adraee, issued an evacuation warning for about 30 villages in the Nabatieh district and southern Lebanon, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The warning signals potential imminent strikes in the area.
The IDF Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee released an evacuation warning for approximately 30 villages in the Nabatieh region and southern Lebanon at 10:56 Jerusalem on Saturday. The alert instructs residents to move northward, the standard phrasing preceding Israeli strikes against Hezbollah positions in the area.
This is the latest in a series of evacuation orders the IDF has issued in recent days as it expands its campaign against Hezbollah targets that violate the ceasefire. On Friday, the IDF warned civilians in 21 villages across the Zahrani corridor and Nabatieh district, and on Thursday ordered the evacuation of 16 villages. The warnings often precede waves of airstrikes.
The current alert covers a notably larger area than previous ones, encompassing roughly 30 villages, though the exact list was not immediately published. According to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS), the warning is based on intelligence about Hezbollah activity in the region. The IDF has previously stated that anyone near Hezbollah operatives, facilities, or weapons endangers their life.
