Israel declares border area with Lebanon a restricted zone

After repeated attacks on Israel by the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia from southern Lebanon, the Israeli army declared a four-kilometer-wide strip of the border area a restricted zone. The Israeli army announced on Sunday that it was prohibited from entering this zone. Civilians living there “up to two kilometers from the border are instructed to remain close to shelters,” he said.

The use of GPS-based navigation systems will also be restricted in active combat zones. Civilians in the region should be aware that this could lead to disruption.

According to Israeli doctors, a person aged approximately 40 was killed in a new attack on Israel by Hezbollah militia on Sunday. Hezbollah said it fired a rocket at Israeli positions near the demarcation line. Lebanese security sources said the Israeli army responded with artillery fire.

Since Islamic Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel and the Israeli army’s counterattacks in the Gaza Strip, there have been regular incidents on the Israel-Lebanon border in recent days, raising concerns about further escalation.
