The IDF has imposed a new closed military zone on the Lebanon border, in the areas of the communities of Metula and Kfar Yuval.

The military says the move follows a fresh assessment amid ground operations inside southern Lebanon.

The order prohibits civilians from areas where the Israeli military is operating, including in Israel across the border from Lebanese villages where fighting may be taking place.

It is valid until tomorrow night.
