The Israeli occupation army renewed its warning to displaced Lebanese citizens against returning to their 62 villages in the south of the country, just two weeks before Israel is due to have fully withdrawn from the country under the terms of the ceasefire agreement.

The deal came into effect on 27 November 2024, and specified that Israeli occupation forces would withdraw from Lebanon within 60 days.

In a post of X yesterday, Israeli army spokesman, Avichay Adraee, said: “A new reminder to the residents of southern Lebanon, that you are prohibited until further notice from moving south to the village line and its vicinity… Anyone who moves south of this line exposes themselves to danger.”

Israel has violated the ceasefire 455 times, leaving 37 dead and 43 wounded, according to Anadolu agency.
