On the night of the same day, the IDF began attacking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. These measures, as explained, were taken in response to the attacks against Israel. After a while, Israeli army spokesman Avihai Adrai called on residents of 53 Lebanese villages in southern and eastern Lebanon to evacuate. Later, information about the first victims began to appear: the Sabereen News portal learned about three Lebanese women killed by Israeli strikes, and the Quds News Network (QNN) publication learned about seven members of the same family killed.
