Jerusalem, Sep 23 (SocialNews.XYZ) Israel's military spokesman Daniel Hagari, on Monday, urged residents of southern Lebanon to leave their homes immediately ahead of a large-scale Israeli strike in the area.
Hagari warned that "extensive" airstrikes would begin "shortly," targeting Hezbollah assets located in houses and other buildings "widely throughout Lebanon."
"We advise civilians from Lebanese villages located in and next to buildings and areas used by Hezbollah for military purposes, such as those used to store weapons, to immediately move out of harm's way for their own safety," he said.
Hagari said that the Israeli army had found out that Hezbollah prepared to launch attacks on Israel, according to Xinhua news agency.
