Israeli army issues evacuation warning for residents south of Zahrani River

2^min

The Israeli army issued an urgent warning to residents in southern Lebanon located south of the Zahrani River, calling on them to evacuate immediately.

In a statement posted on X by Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee, residents were urged to leave their homes and move north of the Zahrani River, citing ongoing military operations against Hezbollah in the area.

The statement said airstrikes are continuing as the Israeli army operates with significant force in the region, adding that civilians should avoid proximity to Hezbollah members, facilities or military assets, as doing so could put their lives at risk.

It also warned that remaining south of the Zahrani River or moving further south could endanger civilians and their families.

#عاجل‼️ انذار عاجل إلى سكان جنوب لبنان المتواجدين جنوب نهر الزهراني

🔸إن نشاطات حزب الله الإرهابية تُجبر جيش الدفاع على العمل ضده بقوة في تلك المنطقة وهو لا ينوي المساس بكم.

🔴الغارات مستمرة حيث يعمل جيش الدفاع بقوة كبيرة في المنطقة. ولذلك وحرصًا على سلامتكم نعود ونناشدكم… pic.twitter.com/PHeX38LftQ
