The Israeli army spokesperson issued an urgent warning to residents of several southern Lebanese towns through his X account:
“Urgent warning to residents in Lebanon who are in the following towns and villages: Ain Baal, Kharayeb, Zrariyeh, Arab Salim, and Arab El Jal.
In light of Hezbollah’s violation of the ceasefire agreement, the Israel Defense Forces are compelled to act forcefully against it. The IDF does not intend to harm you.
For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move at least 1,000 meters away from the towns and villages toward open areas.
Anyone who is near Hezbollah members, facilities, or combat equipment is putting their life at risk.”
