Residents of Lebanon are currently forbidden from traveling south to a line of villages and their adjacent areas until further notice, as stated by Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee.
Yesterday, Israel reported firing upon what it referred to as “suspects” in vehicles approaching multiple locations in the south, claiming it was a violation of the truce established with the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah, which came into effect on Wednesday.
In response, Hezbollah politician Hassan Fadlallah accused Israel of breaching the agreement.
“The Israeli enemy is assaulting those who are returning to the border villages,” Mr. Fadlallah told reporters, further noting, “Israel is committing violations today, even in this manner.”

In a recent update on X, Mr. Adraee urged Lebanese residents to refrain from returning to over 60 southern villages, warning that anyone who crosses the designated line “places themselves in danger.”
Earlier, the Lebanese army accused Israel of breaching the ceasefire multiple times yesterday and on Wednesday.
This exchange of accusations underscores the vulnerability of the ceasefire, which was negotiated by the United States and France to resolve the conflict occurring alongside the Gaza war.
The truce is set to last for 60 days, with the aim of achieving a lasting end to the hostilities.
