The Israeli military has issued a warning to civilians in southern Lebanon to move away from Hezbollah positions as it intensifies attacks on the neighboring country. The IDF spokesperson stated that precise strikes would be carried out against terror targets embedded widely throughout Lebanon, with the goal of creating safe conditions for Israeli citizens to return to the north and destroying Hezbollah’s infrastructure.
The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah escalated following a terrorist attack by Hamas that killed 1,200 people and led to ongoing violence in Gaza. Ceasefire talks have failed to stop the violence, with both sides exchanging fire and casualties. Israel has begun striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, with a focus on towns and villages used for military purposes by the Iran-backed militia.
More than 80 airstrikes were launched by Israel in the morning, according to Lebanese state media. A rare airstrike by Israel killed senior Hezbollah members and civilians in Beirut, prompting a retaliatory strike by Hezbollah with rockets aimed at Israel. The Israeli military is also investigating reports that the leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, was killed in an airstrike.
Overall, the situation in the region remains tense, with ongoing violence and attacks between Israel and Hezbollah. The warning to civilians in southern Lebanon reflects the escalating conflict and the need for precautionary measures to ensure safety from further attacks.
