IDF expands northern border restriction as fighting widens
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
The IDF has imposed a new closed military zone on the Lebanon border, in the areas of the communities of Manara, Yiftah, and Malkia.
The military says the move follows a fresh assessment during ground operations inside southern Lebanon.
It is the third closed military zone imposed on the northern border since the IDF launched its ground operations in Lebanon last week.
The order prohibits civilians from areas where the Israeli military is operating, including areas in Israel across the border from Lebanese villages where fighting may be taking place.
In recent days, the IDF has been expanding its ground operations against Hezbollah to more Lebanese border communities.
