Just before Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem was set to speak today (Wednesday), IDF Spokesperson in Arabic Avichai Adraee issued evacuation orders for the area of three buildings in the Dahiyeh, ahead of IDF air strikes.
According to the IDF Spokesperson, the buildings are present in the Burj al-Barajneh area of the Beirut suburb and Beirut stronghold, and residents must move clear of them at least 500 meters until after the strike is conducted.
Israel has been continually pounding Beirut since the summer, targeting senior Hezbollah leaders, headquarters, and weapons storage and manufacturing facilities.
The IDF has also increased strikes against Hezbollah targets in Syria, also contained within civilian urban centers.
