IDF reiterates warning for civilians not to return to their homes in south Lebanon

The IDF again reiterates its warning to Lebanese civilians against returning to villages in southern Lebanon amid the fragile truce.

“We reiterate that during the ceasefire agreement, the IDF continues to remain deployed in its positions in southern Lebanon in the face of the ongoing terror activity of Hezbollah,” army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee says in a post on X.

“We again warn that, for your safety and the safety of your family members, until further notice, you are required not to move south of the line of the displayed villages and their surroundings,” he says, attaching a map showing the IDF’s new security zone.

“It is also prohibited to approach the Litani River area, Wadi al-Salhani, and Saluki,” he adds.
