The Israeli military has issued a stark ultimatum to representatives of the Iranian regime operating in Lebanon: leave within 24 hours or face the consequences.
"The Israeli army will no longer tolerate the presence of these Iranian representatives in Lebanon," wrote Avichay Adraee, the Arabic-language spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, in a post on X. The warning left nothing to the imagination: "After this deadline, there will be no safe place in Lebanon for them, and the IDF will target them wherever they are."
A Hunt, Not a Warning
This is not a diplomatic communiqué. It is a targeting notice.
Israel's ultimatum signals a deliberate shift in strategy, from striking infrastructure and military assets to personally hunting down every Iranian operative, advisor, intelligence officer and proxy commander still operating on Lebanese soil.
With Hezbollah severely degraded and Supreme Leader Khamenei already eliminated, Tehran's network in Lebanon has never been more exposed or more vulnerable.
The 24-hour clock is ticking. For Iran's men in Lebanon, the choices are stark: flee, hide, or face an army that has spent decades perfecting the art of finding people who do not want to be found.
