Lebanese media report that the IDF is dropping leaflets over a village in southern Lebanon, instructing residents to evacuate their homes. The specific village has not been identified in the reports. This follows weeks of IDF evacuation warnings and demolitions in the area as part of ongoing operations against Hezbollah infrastructure.
Lebanese media reported on Friday afternoon that the IDF is dropping leaflets over a village in southern Lebanon, instructing residents to evacuate their homes. The exact village was not named in the initial reports.
This follows a series of IDF evacuation orders and operational activity in the region over recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 8, the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman issued an order to evacuate multiple towns in southern Lebanon. On June 14, Lebanese media reported a large-scale movement of evacuees from villages in the Nabatieh district heading toward Beirut and Sidon. More recently, on Friday morning, Lebanese channels reported the IDF demolishing and setting fire to homes in the village of Markaba for a second consecutive day. The IDF has not commented on the leaflet drop or the Markaba activity.
The leaflet drop is the latest in a series of measures aimed at clearing areas near the border of civilian presence, as the IDF continues ground operations against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. No casualties have been reported in connection with the leaflets.
