The Israeli military has called for the immediate evacuation of several neighborhoods in the southern suburbs of Beirut, specifically targeting the Dahieh district. IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee urged residents to move at least 500 meters away from specific buildings due to the proximity to Hezbollah infrastructure and weapons. The affected areas include the Lailaki neighborhood, the Munir Shadid building, and other residential complexes. This announcement was made in Arabic, emphasizing the urgency for civilians and paramedics to leave the area immediately for their safety. The warning follows a Beirut airstrike, with maps published alongside the announcement, indicating a potential follow-on strike to target Hezbollah positions.
