Israel’s military has warned Lebanese civilians against returning to dozens of villages in southern Lebanon, claiming Hezbollah’s activities in the area are violating a ceasefire agreement struck last week, AFP reports.

“Hezbollah has continued its terrorist activity during the ceasefire in violation of the agreement; accordingly, the IDF remains deployed in the defensive area,” the military’s Arabic-language spokesman Colonel Avichay Adraee said on X.

“For your safety and the safety of your families, and until further notice, we urge you not to move south of the Forward Defence Line,” he said, referring to a boundary marking an area occupied by Israeli troops.
