Israel army warns of imminent strikes on Tyre and Sidon
Israel's military said Tuesday it would soon strike Hezbollah infrastructure in the southern Lebanese cities of Tyre and Sidon, warning residents to move away from targeted buildings.
"Urgent warning to the residents of Tyre and Sidon. The IDF will soon attack military infrastructure belonging to the terrorist organisation Hezbollah," one of the military's Arabic-language spokesmen, Avichay Adraee, posted on X.
"We urge residents of the buildings marked in red on the two attached maps and the nearby buildings: you are located near buildings used by Hezbollah. For your safety, you must evacuate immediately and move at least 300 meters away," he added.
Soon after the warning, a strike hit the threatened building in Abbassiyeh near Tyre.
Israeli strikes had hit southern and eastern Lebanon overnight.
"Enemy warplanes launched strikes overnight on the towns of al-Majadel, Shaqra, and Srifa," the National News Agency (NNA) reported, adding strikes had also taken place in the Bekaa Valley.
