BREAKING: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued an urgent warning to residents of Kafr Donin, southern Lebanon, on November 6th, 2025, between 4:16 PM and 4:46 PM UTC, announcing imminent strikes on Hezbollah military infrastructure. The IDF stated the operation aims to counter Hezbollah's prohibited attempts to rebuild its activities in the region, urging residents near the targeted building and adjacent structures to evacuate immediately and maintain a distance of at least 500 meters for their safety. Senior IDF officials confirmed that recent weeks have seen excessive activity by Hezbollah, including efforts to restore infrastructure, smuggle rockets, and recruit new operatives, particularly for the Radwan force in the depths of Lebanon. The IDF stated that these attacks in southern Lebanon are intended to prevent Hezbollah from establishing itself near the border and to meet Israel's goal of disarming the organization. According to the IDF, these strikes are carried out in coordination with the Americans, who are stationed at the Northern Command base to understand that Hezbollah must disarm in accordance with Lebanese government decisions. The IDF indicated that if the Lebanese army does not increase its pace in disarming Hezbollah, Israel will act, citing the lessons of October 7th. The IDF is also preparing for a potential Hezbollah response, including the possibility of days of battle, emphasizing that Hezbollah and Lebanon will pay a heavy price for any incident. The instructions for residents of northern Israel remain unchanged. The IDF noted that the Lebanese army's activity in disarming Hezbollah is slower than expected due to internal challenges and the composition of Shiite battalions within the army, with areas where the army does not enter. This development follows previous Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon on November 6th, including an attack on Zawtar al-Sharqiya between 3:16 PM and 3:46 PM UTC after an evacuation warning. Earlier on the same day, Israeli aircraft attacked buildings in Taybeh between 2:46 PM and 3:16 PM UTC, and conducted raids in Aita al-Jabal and Tairdaba between 1:46 PM and 2:16 PM UTC following IDF evacuation warnings. The IDF had previously stated these actions were to counter Hezbollah's rebuilding efforts. Additionally, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on November 6th, 2025, against three individuals for allegedly facilitating tens of millions of dollars from Iran to Hezbollah in 2025. The sanctioned individuals are Ossama Jaber, Ja’far Muhammad Qasir, and Samer Kasbar, with transfers reportedly supported by Hezbollah's activities.
