Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee issued an urgent warning to the Lebanese residents of Kfarhati. He said: "Hezbollah's activities force the Israeli army to act forcefully against it. The Israeli army does not intend to harm you. In order to ensure your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and stay away from the village at least 1,000 meters. Anyone who is near Hezbollah members, facilities and combat means puts their lives in danger."
