In a statement Monday, the Nabatieh municipality urged residents who fled the war not to return to the city, citing the continued sensitive and unstable security situation. The appeal came amid reports of residents returning after an reported US-Iran agreement.
The Nabatieh municipality on Monday issued an urgent appeal to residents who fled the city during the war, warning them not to return at this stage. The statement, published via official channels, said the decision was driven solely by concern for the residents' safety and lives, given the ongoing sensitive and unstable security situation.
The municipality instructed residents to remain in safe places of refuge until the security situation is clarified and an official announcement from the Lebanese state and security forces confirms that the danger has passed.
The appeal comes as some residents were reported returning to Nabatieh, a Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon, following what has been described in reports as an agreement between the United States and Iran, the terms of which have not been disclosed.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, video footage showed residents returning to the city. The municipality's statement amounts to a sharp reversal of the message implied by those returns, underscoring the volatile security environment in southern Lebanon even as diplomatic efforts progress.
