Defensive guidelines in areas near Lebanon will be restored to a level of “full activity ” on Monday, the IDF announced in a statement Sunday.
From 6.00 a.m., all restrictions will be lifted in the Confrontation Line area, and the communities of Safsufa, Meron, Or HaGanuz, Bar Yochai, Yesud HaMa’ala, Kisra-Sumei, Beit Jann, and Sde Eliezer will all move to full activity level, in accordance
Due to the long-standing conflict with the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah, and the threat of rockets and drones faced by the communities closest to the border, many communities have been restricted for much of the last two and a half years.
A ceasefire in Lebanon is included in the US-Iranian Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which was signed last week by both parties. Despite this, fighting was reported in southern Lebanon after the adoption of the ceasefire, which could threaten the stability of the MOU.
