“URGENT URGENT WARNING TO RESIDENTS OF LEBANON AND SPECIFICALLY IN THE FOLLOWING TWO VILLAGES: Kfar Hatta [and] Ain El Tineh.”
“We urge the residents of the buildings marked in red in the attached maps (which were included in the posts) and the buildings adjacent to them: You are located near buildings used by Hezbollah and for your safety you are required to evacuate them immediately and stay away from them by a distance of at least 300 meters,” he added. “Remaining in the area of the marked buildings puts you in danger.”
