Lebanon: Time given to evacuate 'very limited' before Israeli strikes • FRANCE 24 English

Israeli air strikes on Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon on Monday killed 182 people, according to the Lebanese health ministry, in by far the deadliest cross-border escalation since war erupted in Gaza on October 7. Many Lebanese had received phone and text messages from Israel telling them to leave the targeted areas, but the time given for them to evacuate before the strikes began was in some cases “very limited”, reports France 24’s correspondent in Beirut Rawad Taha.

Hezbollah has been firing rockets for almost a year without any warning. They knew all along what was coming. It's infuriating that Lebanese population have been paying the ultimate cost because of Iran regime.

[@DawnAlrayyan]

If Iran is so bad why did we send weopons to them illegally? You know the Iran contra? Oliver north? Do you remember? Or are you too young to know the truth… if isreal is such a a friend of ours, then why did they pardon Jonathan Pollard? When was spying on the USA and sending it to isreal? Why should they spy on a friend? Why would the blow up USS Eisenhower? Oh they investigated themselves! Insane! Keep sending our money to fund housing for them weopons ect, while our children are on drugs, or living in tents. Or old people who die cause they have no healthcare. But yet we send billions to isreal for free healthcare?

Does Hesbollah gives warning to the civilians before they bombed, eve on October 8th when they were in schok and pain from Hamas, what hypocrisy!

[@immortaler]

He could drive from Beirut to the south of Lebanon and back to Beirut before the bombings started, after receiving the warning, but his relatives living there in southern Lebanon who got the message at the same time that he did somehow didn't have enough time to leave!!! That's unbelievable. Unless of course they were thinking the whole time about how to possibly lift their house and carry it along with them on their way.
