The Israeli army on Sunday issued a new appeal to the population aimed at evacuating certain areas of the Baalbek region, in eastern Lebanon, and warning of strikes against Hezbollah.
“You are located near Hezbollah facilities and interests”reported the army's Arabic-language spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, in a message on X accompanied by target target maps. He also called for the evacuation of the village of Douris, near the thousand-year-old town which was already the target of a series of strikes on October 30.
On Sunday morning, the Israeli army reported “several projectiles” drawn from Lebanon towards the territory of Israel. Some were intercepted and others crashed into the wild, she added.
The army also reported having carried out an operation in several houses in a village in southern Lebanon during the night from Saturday to Sunday, discovering in one of them “numerous weapons hidden in the kitchen and in a child’s bedroom”.
They included in particular “individual rocket launchers, rocket launchers, grenades and AK-47 rifles” as well as “combat equipment and intelligence documents used by Hezbollah fighters who had barricaded themselves in the house”according to a press release.
The army carried out new strikes in Lebanon on Saturday, including one on the southern suburbs of Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, which left one dead, according to the Lebanese health ministry.
The Lebanese Islamist movement, for its part, claimed responsibility for rocket salvos on Saturday on several targets in northern Israel and a military base near Tel Aviv.
