People in southern Lebanon have been receiving text and voice messages this morning warning them to stay away from “residential buildings that are being used by Hezbollah for hiding weapons”.
In one video circulating on social media (which I was able to verify through people living in the south of Lebanon), it shows a villager who has received a voice message, which says the Israeli operation continues and has entered a “new phase”.
The voice memo continues: “If you are in a village that is being used by Hezbollah, leave it immediately for your own safety.”
These phone messages come as similar warnings have been posted on social media – in both English and Arabic – by spokespersons for the Israeli military.
Those warnings have been directed at citizens in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley in the north east, saying they should stay far from areas that Hezbollah fighters are operating or hiding weapons.
