Report: Hezbollah trying to prevent panic in Lebanon villages

Hezbollah is reportedly using its Telegram channels to get residents of Lebanese villages to ignore IDF instructions to evacuate homes that contain or are near Hezbollah weapons or weapons stores, according to Kann 11 News reporter Roi Kais.

According to the report, Hezbollah claims that the purpose of the IDF messages is to sow panic among Lebanese residents and reveal the location of Hezbollah weapons:

"It's important to say that the enemy doesn't know a thing and is basing its information on examining general movements, including of civilians. Therefore we ask all people and supporters of the resistance to be a shield and fortified wall for the resistance through the awareness of the danger they face."

Hezbollah then contradicted itself, saying "we stress that the resistance does not put the citizens in danger and the best proof of this is that the enemy attacks forested areas since it knows that our opposition neutralizes all of you. Therefore it assumes that the missiles of the resistance and the weapons are in wadis and hills."
