IDF Launches 2 Waves Of Strikes On Hezbollah Targets Across Southern Lebanon After Evacuation Warnings

The IDF announced that it carried out a second wave of airstrikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in several parts of Lebanon on Sunday evening, following civilian evacuation alerts in the south.

Earlier on Sunday, the military said it had already struck Hezbollah weapons-storage shafts at multiple locations in southern Lebanon, citing suspicious activity at those sites that had been monitored over recent months.

According to the IDF, the renewed strikes came after evacuation warnings were issued Sunday afternoon to residents in parts of southern Lebanon. Arabic-language spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee relayed the alert on X, formerly Twitter.

Adraee warned that the area surrounding Kfar Hatta would be targeted in the coming hours, explaining that the operation would focus on a Hezbollah terror military infrastructure site. He instructed civilians to remain at least 300 meters away from a specific building identified in his post.

The evacuation notice followed the first wave of strikes earlier Sunday, when the IDF confirmed it had hit a weapons storage shaft used by Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon.

The latest attacks are part of an ongoing series of Israeli strikes against Hezbollah positions. On Friday, the military said it carried out strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon “in response to the terrorist organization’s continued violations of the ceasefire understandings.”

On Thursday, the IDF also conducted an airstrike in the Zaita area of southern Lebanon that killed a Hezbollah operative. A subsequent IDF statement identified the operative as Alaa’ Hourani, who served as a Hezbollah drone operator.

The military said Hourani was involved in efforts to rebuild Hezbollah’s terror infrastructure in the region and played a role in intelligence collection and the deployment of terrorist forces during the conflict.
