Despite the IDF warning Lebanese civilians against returning to southern Lebanon villages at this stage of the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, live television footage shows people walking around in the town of Khiam, in close range of an IDF tank.

There is no immediate comment from the military on the footage.
IDF troops are still positioned in some areas of southern Lebanon under the ceasefire agreement that took effect at 4 a.m.
The IDF has said it will announce when people can return to their villages in southern Lebanon, once troops withdraw under the agreement.
