Residents of Lebanon are prohibited from moving south to an area of highlighted villages and their surrounding areas until further notice, IDF chief spokesperson in Arabic,  Avichay Adraee, said on X on Friday.

"The IDF does not intend to target you, and therefore, you are prohibited at this stage from returning to your homes from this line south until further notice," Adraee said.

"  Anyone who moves south of this line - puts himself in danger."
