Journalist Ganem Ibrahim has posted footage from Lebanon showing residents of southern Lebanon returning to their homes, as reported via a message shared on Channel 12. The specific locations shown in the footage were not detailed in the report, and no official confirmation from the IDF, the Lebanese army, or UNIFIL was cited. This is the latest in a series of reports documenting the movement of civilians back to areas in southern Lebanon, which was a key sticking point in the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah earlier this month. As The Zioneer reported on June 15, the Lebanese army had urged residents to slow their return, warning of Israeli aerial surveillance. A separate bulletin on that same day documented the reopening of the Zafta-Nabatieh road, facilitating the return. This new footage appears to corroborate reports from last week showing residents, some waving Hezbollah flags, streaming south. The Israeli military has not yet publicly authorized a general return to the border area, and the security situation remains subject to the terms of the ceasefire.
