Israeli Strikes Target Hezbollah as Lebanese Civilians Urged to Evacuate
Amid intensified violence between Israel and Hezbollah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Lebanese people directly, urging them to leave areas targeted in Israeli strikes. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel’s war is with Hezbollah, not the Lebanese citizens, accusing the militant group of using civilians as human shields by placing missiles in homes. As part of “Operation Northern Arrows,” Israeli forces struck southern and eastern Lebanon, killing nearly 500 people. Netanyahu urged civilians to take IDF warnings seriously and move to safety.
