Streams of cars seen heading toward southern Lebanon despite IDF warning to not yet return

Streams of cars carrying people displaced from southern Lebanon by the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and the Israeli ground operation in recent months begin heading south after a ceasefire halting hostilities between the Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah and Israel came into force.

Reuters reporters see dozens of cars leaving the port city of Sidon south of Beirut around 4:00 a.m. local time and heading deeper into southern Lebanon.

Earlier, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee warned Lebanese civilians to not yet return to villages in the south, “for your protection and the safety of your families.”
