More activity took place at Israel’s northern border with Lebanon overnight Sunday as tensions escalate with Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah.
The IDF said Monday morning that its forces struck four Hezbollah terrorist cells on the Lebanese border and some of the group’s infrastructure, including a military compound and an observation post, in Lebanon.
Skirmishes along the Israel-Lebanon border have become more frequent in recent days as many are concerned that a second front with Hezbollah may emerge in Israel’s war with Hamas.
In response to the rising concerns, the U.S. State Department alerted on X, formerly Twitter, Sunday night that American citizens should leave Lebanon immediately due to an “unpredictable security situation.”
“U.S. citizens who wish to depart Lebanon should leave now, due to the unpredictable security situation,” the post by the department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs read. “There are still commercial flights available, but there is reduced capacity.”
