The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Thursday that it had started striking Hezbollah military targets in southern Lebanon.

An unmanned aircraft reportedly struck a Hezbollah construction unit’s facility near Tyre, a coastal city in southern Lebanon, Israeli news outlet Ynet reported, citing the IDF. Ynet also noted that the IDF claimed the facility was used to produce equipment for restoring terror infrastructure that Israel destroyed in previous operations.

In preparation for the strikes, the IDF urged residents of al-Taybeh and Tayr Debba to flee. Israel included maps marking areas that would become dangerous for civilians once the strikes began.
