IDF Calls on Lebanese to Leave Homes near Hizbullah Weapon Sites, Prompting Mass Exodus
(Ynet News) Lior Ben Ari - Thousands of residents in southern Lebanon were seen fleeing toward Beirut and northern regions on Monday following an unusual warning from the IDF Spokesperson urging residents to distance themselves from Hizbullah weaponry. Social media was flooded with images and videos of the exodus from southern Lebanon. On Monday afternoon, the IDF issued another targeted warning, to residents of the Bekaa Valley. IDF Arabic Spokesperson Lt.-Col. Avichay Adraee said, "The IDF does not want to harm you. If you are in or near a building containing Hizbullah weapons, you must leave and move at least 1,000 meters outside the village or go to the nearest central school and not return until further notice. Anyone who remains near Hizbullah members, their facilities, and weapons is endangering their own lives and those of their families."
