The IDF says it has completed its deployment along the Yellow Line in southern Lebanon and is now focusing on three main operations: securing the line, removing Lebanese civilians from areas under IDF control, and continuing to destroy terror infrastructure.
The IDF announced it has completed troop deployment along the Yellow Line—the demarcation line inside southern Lebanon where Israeli forces hold ground after recent operations. This deployment was finalized earlier today, according to a military source.
The military's focus has now shifted to three concurrent tasks: securing the Yellow Line against Hezbollah activity, clearing Lebanese civilians from areas under IDF control (with an official Yellow Line map expected in the coming hours to prevent residents from returning to their homes), and ongoing demolition of terror infrastructure.
This deployment comes amid a broader period of high alert across multiple fronts following the strike in Beirut. The IDF has been preparing on both defense and offense, with the Chief of Staff approving battle plans for Lebanon days ago. The Home Front Command has maintained its current civilian guidelines, and no immediate change was announced alongside this operational update.
The removal of civilians from IDF-held areas in southern Lebanon signals an intent to maintain a military buffer rather than withdraw quickly, though the duration of the deployment has not been specified.
