The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) early Thursday advised residents of the Iranian cities of Arak and Khondab to evacuate for their safety.

"The IDF issues an urgent warning to residents, workers and those present in the area of the two Iranian cities of Arak and Khondab, in the area marked on the map, to evacuate immediately before the IDF targets military infrastructure belonging to Iran," it wrote in a Farsi-language statement.

According to the Associated Press, the designated area showd in a red circle in the IDF-posted satellite image includes Iran's Arak heavy water reactor.
