On Thursday, the day following ceasefire implementation between Israel and Lebanon, the Israeli army spokesperson Avichae Adraee renewed his warnings to residents of several areas in south Lebanon.
Shortly afterwards, Israeli artillery targeted the outskirts of Aita al-Shaab while fire bursts were heard in Maroun al-Ras and Aitaroun. According to preliminary information, Israeli troops stationed in Maroun al-Ras fired shots at residents trying to reach their homes in the outskirts of the caza of Bint Jbeil.
In a statement on his X account, Adraee had prohibited residents of Chebaa, Habariyeh, Marjayoun, Arnoun, Yohmor, Kantara, Shaqra, Baraashit, Yater and Mansouri to return to their villages, warning that “the army does not intend to target you and therefore you are prohibited at this stage from returning to your homes from this line south until further notice”, adding that whoever moves south of the above mentioned line would be jeopardizing his life.
Additionally, Israeli warplanes were also reported flying over southern villages.
During the day on Thursday, the bodies of a number of Hezbollah and Amal fighters were found in al-Jalahiya, where fierce fighting took place in the final days of the war. An Israeli tank fired two shells on the outskirts of Kafrchouba. According to Israeli radio, the bombing and firing in southern Lebanon are aimed at driving the population away from the forbidden zone.
In addition, several vehicles and vehicles belonging to UNIFIL (French battalion) were observed entering the town of Mays al-Jabal to join the positions of the Nepalese battalion operating in the town.
Overnight, the city of Bint Jbeil and the town of Aita al-Shaab were shelled by Israeli artillery amid fighter jets flying above the region.
