Israel warns Lebanese residents to stay out of border zone

Israel has issued a warning to residents of southern Lebanon to stay out of a belt of territory running the length of the border and not to approach the Litani River area. This directive comes despite a ceasefire in the war with Hezbollah, indicating Israel is entrenching its grip over the region. The warning effectively restricts civilian movement and reinforces Israeli control in southern Lebanon. The move follows previous IDF warnings about movement restrictions in conflict-affected areas.
