Israel prevents the return of the Lebanese to 80 southern villages despite the truce

The Israeli forces continued the policy of preventing the return of displaced Lebanese to their villages in the south. On Saturday, the Israeli army issued explicit warnings to civilians not to approach or return to about 80 southern villages, 55 of which are under its direct control within the so-called "yellow line". The banned list included strategic villages such as Marjayoun, Bint Jbeil, Maroun Al-Ras, Ainata, Al-Naqoura, Mays Al-Jabal, Al-Udaysah and Kafr Shuba, in addition to to dozens of other villages along the border strip. The IDF also prohibited approaching areas around the Litani River, Wadi al-Salhani, and Wadi al-Saluqi. These warnings come at a time when the region is witnessing continued military escalation despite the entry into force of the ceasefire agreement nine days ago, which was extended for an additional three weeks. Anatolia recorded 31 Israeli attacks on Friday alone, killing six people and injuring others. Hezbollah responded to these violations with five operations targeting Israeli military sites and vehicles, including a troop carrier, two military vehicles, and a gathering of soldiers, in addition to shooting down a drone. On Saturday evening, the Israeli army announced that it had launched raids on three areas north of the "yellow line", including the towns of Deir al-Zahrani, Kafr Rumman and Al-Sama 'iyah. Israel continues to occupy large areas of southern Lebanese territory, some occupied for decades and others since the aggression The last one started last March. This aggression left a tragic toll of 2,491 martyrs and more than 7,700 wounded, in addition to the displacement of more than a million Lebanese from their homes.
