Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee issued an urgent warning to the residents of southern Lebanon located south of the Zahrani River. He said: "Hezbollah's activities force the Israeli army to act forcefully against it in that region, and it does not intend to harm you. The raids are continuing as the Israeli army is operating with great force in the region. Therefore, in the interest of your safety, we return and appeal to you to evacuate your homes immediately and head immediately to the north of the Zahrani River." Adraee added: “Anyone who is near Hezbollah members, facilities, or combat means puts his life in danger. To ensure your safety, we call on you to move immediately to the area north of the Zahrani River. Staying south of the Zahrani River may put your lives and the lives of your families at risk.” He continued: "Be careful: any movement south may put your lives in danger."
