The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have issued an urgent warning to the residents of the village of Yanouh in southern Lebanon, demanding the immediate evacuation of a specific area ahead of a planned military strike.
IDF Warning Details
The warning explicitly calls for civilians to take immediate protective measures as the IDF prepares to target Hezbollah infrastructure in the vicinity:
* Targeted Area: The IDF states that it will attack the military infrastructure belonging to the “Hezbollah terrorist organization” in the “near term”.
* Reason for Attack: This action is being taken to counter the “prohibited attempts” by Hezbollah to rebuild its military activities in the region.
* Evacuation Order: Residents of the building “marked in red on the attached map” and the “adjacent buildings” are urgently instructed to evacuate immediately. The warning notes that the designated building is being used by Hezbollah.
* Safety Distance: For their safety, residents must move away from the identified building and its adjacent structures to a distance of “at least 300 meters”.
* Risk Assessment: The IDF concludes that “Staying in the designated building area puts you at risk”.
This preemptive warning is consistent with the IDF’s recent tactics of issuing specific, targeted warnings to civilians via digital and public channels before striking sites they claim are being used by Hezbollah for military purposes, aiming to minimize civilian casualties.
