Israel has announced the lifting of all restrictions imposed on northern border areas as part of the war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, after fighting wound down following a flare-up, AFP reports.

“Starting at 6:00 am on Monday, June 22, 2026, all restrictions will be lifted in the Confrontation Line area,” the Israeli military says, adding that the border communities “will move to a full activity level, with no restrictions, instead of a partial activity level”.
