Israel warns residents to leave the area before any strike takes place because Israel is at war with Hezbollah, not the country of Lebanon. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, like Hamas, Hezbollah uses the population as human shields by placing terror infrastructure beneath civilian buildings. <\/p>\n<p>Watch this IDF video for more information:<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SageMGRvfoo?si=v4JpylhYaUd0u0bq\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the US requested that Israel not take any action in Beirut, Israel has determined that operating there is essential to protecting Israel&#8217;s civilians; the IDF must destroy the Hezbollah terror infrastructure in Dahieh, a suburb of the city.
