The Lebanese Army refused to evacuate barracks near Kafr Donin, southern Lebanon, on November 6th, 2025, after two missiles struck the area. The Mayor of Kafr Donin confirmed a warning strike and the continued presence of the Lebanese army at their positions, refusing evacuation orders, as reported by a Telegram channel documenting the attack. This event occurred during a short reporting window, with ongoing developments in the region. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had previously issued evacuation warnings for buildings in Kafr Donin, citing imminent strikes on Hezbollah military infrastructure. The IDF stated its operations aim to counter Hezbollah's rebuilding efforts and prevent its establishment near the border. Senior IDF officials have indicated that if the Lebanese army does not increase its pace in disarming Hezbollah, Israel will act, referencing lessons from October 7th. Amidst these developments, Israeli journalist Amit Segal stated that if a new campaign is launched in Lebanon, the objective will be the destruction of Hezbollah. This follows previous Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon on November 6th, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure and combat depots, with the IDF stating these actions are coordinated with Americans stationed at the Northern Command. Separately, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on November 6th, 2025, against three individuals—Ossama Jaber, Ja’far Muhammad Qasir, and Samer Kasbar—for allegedly facilitating tens of millions of dollars from Iran to Hezbollah in 2025. These transfers were reportedly supported by Hezbollah's activities and utilized exchange houses in Lebanon's financial sector, coinciding with heightened fears of escalation in northern Israel.
