Friday, November 8, 2024 - On Wednesday, November 6, the Israeli army issued an urgent evacuation notice to residents in two neighborhoods of Beirut’s southern suburbs, warning of imminent strikes targeting Hezbollah facilities.
The message, delivered by Israeli army spokesperson Avichay
Adraee via a post on X (formerly Twitter), cautioned residents living near
Hezbollah-affiliated sites to leave the area immediately.
"You are located near facilities and interests
affiliated with Hezbollah, against which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will
act in the near future," Adraee said, alongside a map marking the affected
zones.
The warning coincided with a speech by Hezbollah’s newly
appointed leader, Naim Qassem, who declared that the group has tens of
thousands of fighters prepared for confrontation with Israel. Speaking to mark
40 days since the death of his predecessor, Qassem emphasized Hezbollah’s
readiness, stating, “We have tens of thousands of trained resistance
combatants,” and warned that no location in Israel was "off-limits"
to their forces.
This development adds to heightened regional tensions as
Israel prepares for potential escalation with Hezbollah, a powerful militant
group that has consistently opposed Israeli influence in Lebanon and the wider
region.
