In particular, people in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley received text messages with warnings from Israel, the Lebanese NNA confirmed. 

Lebanese media reported that warning messages were also broadcast on radio stations.

Strikes on homes in Lebanon where Hezbollah has hidden weapons are inevitable. Hezbollah is lying to you and sacrificing you. Its rockets and drones are more valuable and important to it than you

- Avichai Adrai, a representative of the Israeli Defense Forces, warned in an audio message.

After that, the Israeli Defense Forces launched “large-scale” waves of air strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, as they warned civilians to quickly move away from areas used by the Hizbullah. 

The military said it had detected Hezbollah operatives preparing to launch rocket attacks on Israel.

The Chief of the General Staff has approved strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon from the IDF Underground Operations Center. So far, more than 300 Hezbollah targets have been hit today

- the IDF said in a statement.

Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) stated that a “civilian” shepherd was killed in the eastern region of the Bekaa Valley “and two members of his family” and four other people were wounded in the strikes.

It is noted that strikes  were recorded in the Nabatiyeh area in southern Lebanon. Strikes were also reported in the area of Tyre.

The U.S. State Department is urging citizens to leave Lebanon because of the escalating conflict with Israel. The reason is the growing unpredictability of explosions and the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel.
