IDF Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee posts a message telling evacuated residents of southern Lebanon to “refrain from traveling south and returning to your homes or olive groves. These are dangerous combat zones.”

“We remind you that the war and intensive raids against Hezbollah are still ongoing,” says Adraee on X. “For your safety, please follow the instructions.”
