For the first time since the beginning of the war, the IDF is ordering the residents of the city of Tzur in southern Lebanon to evacuate certain areas.
Arabic IDF spokesman Col. Avihai Adraee told the residents that they should "immediately move away from the area marked in red and evacuate north of the Hawli River. Anyone who is near Hezbollah's people, their installations and their means of warfare - puts their lives in danger."
In the documentation that is published on the social networks in Lebanon, you see personnel of Lebanese civil defense walking around Tyre and telling the residents to follow the IDF's order to avoid being harmed.
Until now, the IDF has ordered the residents of the conflict line on the Lebanese side to evacuate. From the moment Operation "Northern Arrows" was announced a few weeks ago - in the days after the beeper attack, the IDF periodically ordered the residents of certain areas of Beirut, mainly the Da'aheh district, to evacuate the areas marked on the map published for residents.
Tire is the fourth largest of the cities of Lebanon and among the oldest in the country of the Azim. The population of the city is about 160 000 people and it is located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, 23 km north of the northernmost point of the coast in Israel - Rosh Hanikra.
The IDF announcement implicates tens of thousands of people who were instructed to move north before the IDF and Air Force attacked Hezbollah targets in the city. Since the beginning of the war, the IDF has attacked many times in the Tzur area, but the attacks were mainly focused on villages in the suburbs of the city.
