Wed Sep 25 04:54:25 UTC 2024: ## IDF Warns Lebanese Evacuees Not to Return Home Following Hezbollah Missile Attack
**TEL AVIV** – The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has warned Lebanese residents who evacuated their homes in recent days against returning on Wednesday morning. The warning comes shortly after Hezbollah launched a missile at Tel Aviv, escalating tensions between the two groups.
IDF spokesperson Avichai Adraee, speaking in Arabic, stated that ongoing military operations in Lebanese villages continue and advised citizens to remain away from their homes for their safety. The spokesperson did not specify a time when evacuees would be allowed to return.
The warning comes as a result of the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The missile attack on Tel Aviv, which caused no casualties, follows several days of intense fighting along the Lebanese border. The IDF has been conducting airstrikes in Lebanon, targeting what it claims are Hezbollah weapons and infrastructure.
The Israeli government has urged Lebanese citizens to stay away from areas where Hezbollah operates to avoid potential harm. The situation remains volatile and the IDF has warned that it will continue its military operations until the threat posed by Hezbollah is neutralized.
