The IDF's Arabic-language spokesperson Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee issued a warning on Thursday urging residents of the Lebanese villages of Burj al-Shamali, Maashuq and Al-Khush, near the coastal city of Tyre, to evacuate ahead of impending strikes.
“For your safety, evacuate to areas north of the Al-Awali River,” Adraee said in a statement. “We will act forcefully against Hezbollah infrastructure in your area, and we have no intention of harming civilians.”
