Israel warns residents to leave areas near Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor

The Israeli military has issued a warning to residents to leave two villages near the Arak heavy water reactor before it carried out strikes on “military infrastructure”. “The IDF issues an urgent warning to residents, workers and those present in the area of the two Iranian villages of Arak and Khondab, in the areas marked on the map, to evacuate immediately before the IDF targets military infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime,” it wrote in a Telegram post in Arabic and Farsi using the military’s official acronym. The post included a satellite image of the plant in a red circle, similar to other Israeli army warnings.
