“Hezbollah's activity compels the Defense Forces to act strongly against it. The Defense Forces do not want to harm you. For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and move north of the Auja River,” the Army's statement read.
The statement emphasized that anyone near Hezbollah elements, facilities, or weapons “is putting their life at risk,” urging residents not to head south and warning that “any movement” could endanger their lives.
“We will inform you when it is time to return to your homes,” the statement concluded.
