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.

[Anti-terrorist]

Isreali citizens get ZERO warning from these terrorists..

[mkultrapolis]

Question: is the Hezbollah informs Israelis before launching rocket attack ?

[stevenlafavor]

The warnings are so that civilians have the opportunity to evacuate, NOT for Hezbollah to try to move their weapons out of the targeted areas!

[Karfa]

Alwsys "woman and children"😁 Never mentioned that terrorists use them as human shields.

[abram]

They need time to evacuate and move the weapons also...

[ataboyboyboy]

At least you were given a warning, Israelis did not.

[marbaut]

it is the Lebanese people are to be blamed what happened they tolerated hezbolah militants

[BobbyFoxtron]

This guy barely had enough time to move his rocket launcher

[JohnOmbiah-vnqf]

It's been 11 months, bro, nothing sudden here

[deomatt]

So all this just you, Lebaneses want to protect Hezbollah??😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[deomatt]

So I understand you are so unbalanced in your comments.
IDF can't give 24h notice, that would be silky as Hezbollah would take advantage of the long time.

[augustinematchupula]

Iranians are busy doing their everyday work, claim your country Lebanese.

[Travelaroundtheworld]

October 7 was a very very bad idea 🇮🇱🇮🇱💪💪

[kitcarpo]

Rawad did not address the question: Why did the Lebanese people keep quiet until now? Complicit in decades of attacks.

[אריאלוהדספרציק]

Do you want us to send you a cab? A private jet?

[adriennefried]

How often had Israel been warned of an attack?
And maybe they should stop the rockets targeting the civilian population.

[Ubok-ul]

Maybe the message was not well delivered. Send them pagers.

[jimfuqua]

This guy had enough time to leave Beirut and get to his home in Southern Lebanon, pick up stuff important to him and evacuate prior to bombing. Give me a break.

Hezeebola caused the problem, they have never called for peace deal, God bless 🙏 IDF
