Two different IDF units on the Lebanon border have halted all operations, including entry into homes suspected as weapons depots, according to a report by Amit Segal (N12). Entry to such structures may now be conducted only under fire. The report also notes that Shia residents have returned to villages they previously avoided, and that troops have been ordered not to operate against them.
A single-source report by veteran military correspondent Amit Segal (N12) described a significant operational pause on Israel's northern front. According to Segal, two distinct IDF units in the border sector have ceased all activity, including the practice of entering homes suspected of being weapons caches. Entry to such structures now requires fire cover. The report also states that Shia residents, who had previously refrained from returning, have now moved back into their villages, and Israeli forces have been ordered not to confront them. The move appears to reflect a shift in operational posture along the southern Lebanon front, though no official IDF statement has been issued. The Zioneer has previously covered a series of Home Front Command all-clear announcements and IDF strikes in the area, but this marks the first report of a deliberate freeze on room-clearing and cache-search operations. The report remains unverified by additional independent sources.
