The Israeli army has warned residents of six Lebanese villages to take precautions as it continues operations against Hezbollah. The warning, issued without specifying the villages by name, applies to areas where the military says Hezbollah activity is a concern.
What the warning entails
The army urged civilians in those villages to avoid movement near military zones and to follow any instructions given by the troops. No further details were released about the exact locations or the scope of the operations.
The operations against Hezbollah are part of Israel's long-running effort to prevent the group from building up its military presence near the border. Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group, has been a focal point of Israeli military action for years.
The warning is the latest in a series of alerts issued by the Israeli army during such campaigns. It remains unclear how long the current operations will last or whether the warning will lead to evacuations.
