Beirut (Lebanon) – Israel has been consistently attacking Hezbollah, a terrorist organization in Lebanon. Reports now suggest that Israel is planning the land invasion to eliminate Hezbollah. In this context, warning leaflets have been dropped from planes in Lebanon. The leaflets state, ” If the people of Lebanon allow Hezbollah terrorists to store rockets and ammunition in their homes, those homes will definitely be destroyed.” Additionally, a call has been made for people to evacuate southern Lebanon as soon as possible. As a result, millions of people are reportedly fleeing the area.
