The Municipality of Kaifoun (Aley) announced Monday that a phone call was received at the residence of Chehab Awada in the Horsh area of the town, requesting the evacuation of the building in preparation for a possible strike.
Following verification and monitoring, authorities stated, in a statement, that the number used in the call was linked to the hostile side. As a precautionary measure, the municipality called for the immediate evacuation of the targeted house, as well as adjacent and surrounding homes, for a period of 24 hours.
The municipality emphasized that the decision is preventive and aimed at ensuring the safety of residents.
Kaifoun was struck by an Israeli airstrike on April 8, a day now known as Black Wednesday. The village, located southeast of Beirut in the Aley District of Mount Lebanon, was hit as part of a massive, coordinated Israeli aerial campaign that struck over 100 locations across Lebanon in just a few minutes.
