As the war between Israel and Hezbollah intensifies, Lebanese civilians are increasingly paying the price – and this dangerous reality often becomes clear in the middle of the night: That’s when the Israeli military typically warns people to evacuate buildings or neighborhoods to avoid airstrikes.

But it wasn’t until late last month, when Israel dramatically expanded its offensive against Hezbollah, that Lebanese people began receiving regular warnings about upcoming airstrikes. Human rights groups say the warnings are inadequate and sometimes misleading.
