Early Monday morning: IDF warns Lebanese civilians to immediately move away from homes used by Hezbollah to store weapons, IAF airstrikes hit Beqaa Valley

Interesting video at the link showing an overhead view of a building — and what penetrating radar shows inside, underneath the roof and ceiling. I’d be terrified just now, were I stupid enough to be a jihadi.
[IsraelTimes] IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari issues a message to Lebanese civilians in border villages, warning them against Hezbollah’s use of their homes to store weaponry.

"To all the residents of the villages in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, in the near future we will strike terror targets in Lebanon. We call on everyone who is near properties or inside homes where Hezbollah is hiding weapons, we call on you to distance yourselves from them immediately. This is for your safety and protection," he says.

Hagari shows previously unreleased footage of Hezbollah operatives preparing to launch a cruise missile from within a civilian home in a southern Lebanon village. The building was targeted in an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
"Hezbollah puts you and your families in danger. Hezbollah is planning to launch these weapons toward Israel, stay away from them immediately for your own protection," he says.

Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the pastor had finally been wrestled from the pulpit.
Y'got the wrong guy! he yelled just before Sergeant Malone's billy club landed...

Hagari says that the ongoing widespread strikes in Lebanon come after the military identified Hezbollah preparations to launch rockets at Israel.

He says the strikes will continue to "remove the threats."

#10  *I* think this is Israel's way of thumbing their nose at the Dems.

That might be sarcasm.

#9  My point was that if Israel were committing genocide, they wouldn't bother with a warning.The fact that Hamas/Hezbollah won't let the human shields leave is another matter.

#7  Well, in Gaza, Hamas wouldn't let them leave.
There are videos of Hamasniks threatening people, shooting car tires, ordering families back inside, etc.
Having human shields doesn't work if they leave.
