The Israeli military has issued a warning to residents of southern Lebanon, advising them not to travel by car south of the Litani River. The Litani River spans much of the width of Lebanon's southern territory, approximately 25 kilometers (15 miles) from the border with Israel.
The military cited heavy fighting in southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah is reportedly using civilians as human shields, a tactic they have employed in the past. The warning is currently in effect 'until further notice,' according to the military statement.
This cautionary measure comes amidst escalating tensions in the region, with ongoing clashes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants. The Israeli military's directive aims to ensure the safety and security of residents in the area, urging them to avoid travel to the specified southern region.
Israeli officials have emphasized the need for vigilance and compliance with the travel advisory to prevent potential harm or danger to civilians. The situation remains fluid, and further updates are expected as the conflict continues to unfold.
