Lebanese media report that residents are still being prevented from entering the area along the Yellow Line in southern Lebanon. The restriction follows earlier calls by the Lebanese army to slow the return to border towns amid ongoing security uncertainty.
Lebanese media outlets are reporting that residents are still being prevented from entering the area of the Yellow Line in southern Lebanon. The Yellow Line, a demarcation inside Lebanese territory near the Israeli border, remains off-limits to returnees even as many other southern residents have streamed back to their villages waving Hezbollah flags since the ceasefire took effect.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the Lebanese army called on residents to slow their return to border towns, citing ongoing security uncertainty. The current restriction appears to formalize that appeal into an enforced closure of the immediate border zone.
The situation remains fluid. The IDF has not issued an official statement regarding the status of the Yellow Line area, and the source of the enforcement — whether Lebanese military, UNIFIL, or other local forces — is not specified in the reports.
