The road connecting Zafta and Nabatieh in southern Lebanon has been reopened, according to reports from the area, as residents continue returning to their villages. No official Israeli or Lebanese confirmation of the road's status has been issued.
The Zafta–Nabatieh road in southern Lebanon has been reopened, local reports indicate, as residents return to villages in the area after a period of IDF operations. The road connects the village of Zafta, where an Israeli strike on June 8 killed four people according to official Lebanese media, with the Nabatieh district, a frequent target of IDF airstrikes in recent weeks. This is the latest sign of civilian movement back into the area, following reports of massive traffic jams on the coastal highway earlier today. No Israeli military confirmation of the road's status has been given, and the security situation along the route remains unclear.
