IDF imposes new closed military zone on areas of Lebanon border

The IDF has imposed a new closed military zone on the Lebanon border, in the areas of the communities of Rosh Hanikra, Shlomi, Hanita, Adamit, and Arab al-Aramshe.
The military says the move follows a fresh assessment given ground operations inside southern Lebanon.
It is the fourth close 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.
