The IDF issued an urgent warning to all those in the Masnaa crossing area on the Syrian-Lebanese border, and to all travelers on the M30 road. The army indicated that Hezbollah was using the crossing for military purposes and to smuggle weapons, which prompted the army to announce its intention to launch raids on the crossing in the near future. The army, out of concern for the safety of civilians, called on everyone near the crossing and in the area marked in red on the map to evacuate immediately, warning that remaining in this area would put their lives in danger.
