NNA - The Israeli army urged residents of the east Lebanon city of Baalbek and surrounding villages to leave immediately Wednesday, warning it was preparing attacks on Hezbollah targets.

"The (Israeli army) will act forcefully against Hezbollah interests within your city and villages", military spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on X that included a map of the area in the eastern Bekaa Valley. ---AFP
