Israeli Army Spokes person Avichay Adraee Warned Residents "Near Facilities and Interests Affiliated with Hezbollah" to move out, warning of imminent Strikes
West Asia crisis Israeli strike hits south Beirut following evacuation call
An Israeli strike hit Beirut's southern suburbs on Friday (Nov 15), hours after the Israeli military called for people in the area to evacuate.
The evacuation order, which was posted on X by Israeli Army spokesperson Avichay Adraee, warned residents "near facilities and interests affiliated with Hezbollah" to move out, warning of imminent strikes.
"All residents in the southern suburb area, specifically in the Ghobeiry area, you are located near facilities and interests affiliated with Hezbollah," the post said.
"For your safety and the safety of your family members, you must evacuate these buildings and those adjacent to them immediately," it added.
Israel and Iran-aligned Lebanese militant group Hezbollah have exchanged fire for over a year in parallel with the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
Repeated Israeli air strikes on south Beirut have led to a mass exodus of civilians.
Friday's strike came a day after the Israeli military said that it had struck around 30 targets in southern suburbs over the past 48 hours.
Israel-Hezbollah conflict death toll at 3,386
The death toll from Israeli attacks on Lebanon since the beginning of the current round of Israel Hezbollah conflict has climbed to 3,386, the Lebanese health ministry said on Thursday.
The ministry added that 14,417 people had been injured so far.
All eyes are on a potential ceasefire deal in the conflict.
Israeli media reported on Thursday that Lebanon was likely to respond to a US ceasefire offer in the following 24 hours.
Israel has put forward three requirements for the ceasefire agreement Hezbollah needs to withdraw to the area north of the Litani River the southern area of Lebanon needs to be stationed by the Lebanese Armed Forces and Hezbollah is not allowed to obtain weapons through Syria.
If Hezbollah does not agree to the aforementioned three requirements and launches attacks against Israel, the Israeli army will continue and even expand its military operations.
