BREAKING:

The Israeli Air Force dropped leaflets in Beirut a short while ago, calling on civilians to act against Hezbollah:

"You must disarm Hezbollah, Iran's shield. Lebanon is your decision, not someone else's.

Not someone else's. Stability isn't just a word. For every Lebanese, your land is yours. Don't let it become easy prey for the Iranian Hezbollah's weapons.

Unit 504 is working to ensure the future of Lebanon and its people, believing in the principle "If your neighbor is well, you are well."

If you want to be part of real change and contribute to the prosperity and protection of your country, we are here to listen to you."
