Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, warns Lebanese civilians to not yet return to villages in southern Lebanon as a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah takes effect.
“With the ceasefire agreement coming into effect, and in accordance with its provisions, the IDF continues to be prepared in its positions in southern Lebanon,” Adraee says.
“Do not move towards the villages that the IDF evacuated or towards IDF forces in the area. For your protection and the safety of your families, avoid reaching the area,” he says.
“We will inform you of the safe date to return to your homes,” the spokesman adds.
