Israel’s military says it has struck more than 300 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Monday as residents reportedly are being warned to leave certain areas.
Israel’s military says an «extensive» wave of airstrikes has hit more than 300 Hezbollah targets Monday as residents of southern Lebanon reportedly are receiving text messages warning them to stay away from buildings where the terrorist group is storing weapons.
The strikes are in response to Hezbollah launching around 150 rockets, missiles and drones into northern Israel on Sunday following Israeli military operations that resulted in the deaths of multiple top Hezbollah commanders.
«If you are in a building housing weapons for Hezbollah, move away from the village until further notice», reads a text message in Arabic that residents of Lebanon have been receiving, according to local media reports cited by the Associated Press.
The Lebanese Health Ministry is asking hospitals in southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa valley to postpone surgeries that could be done later. The ministry said in a statement that its request aimed to keep hospitals ready to deal with people wounded by «Israel’s expanding aggression on Lebanon.
