The Israeli army is urging residents of the capital Beirut to evacuate.

According to TASS on October 5th, in an announcement in Arabic, the official representative of the Israeli army, Avichai Edri, urged residents of the Burj al-Barajneh area, located in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, to evacuate to safety immediately.

"A new urgent warning for residents in the southern suburbs, especially those in buildings in the Burj Al Barajneh area. For your own safety and the safety of your family members, you must evacuate immediately and stay at least 500 meters away from nearby buildings," an Israeli military spokesman wrote on social media.

Along with that, Edri posted a satellite image of the area, which showed a building allegedly used by Hezbollah forces in Lebanon as a military base. An Israeli military spokesperson emphasized: "Those close to Hezbollah's interests and targets will become targets of Israeli military action in the near future."

On Hezbollah's side, in an official statement, a representative of the group said that at least 20 Israeli soldiers were killed or wounded in clashes with Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah said it had planted explosive devices along the Israeli army's route and detonated them. "Our troops fired from light and medium weapons, as well as grenade launchers, at the enemy at close range, forcing them to retreat to the border," Hezbollah said.

Since October 1st, Israel has been conducting a ground campaign against Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon, and continues bombing its neighbor, where more than 1,000 people have been killed, including Hezbollah leaders, and over 90,000 have become refugees. Despite losses, including command personnel, Hezbollah continues to fight ground battles and has not stopped missile attacks on Israeli territory.
