The Israeli military has warned residents in southern Lebanon not to move toward certain border areas or approach regions near the Litani River, stating that its forces remain deployed during the ongoing ceasefire due to security concerns.
Officials also advised civilians to avoid returning to several villages until further notice, citing potential risks in the region.
Despite the warnings, many displaced Lebanese families have begun returning to their homes in the south. Reports indicate that vehicles carrying personal belongings have been seen heading toward affected areas as families assess the condition of their properties.
This return follows a temporary ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel. However, authorities have urged caution, noting that the situation remains uncertain.
Several returning residents found their homes damaged or destroyed, raising concerns about long-term safety and stability. Observers say the ceasefire remains fragile, with fears that tensions could escalate again.
Israeli officials have stated that military operations may continue if security threats arise, emphasizing the need to protect forces stationed in the area.
