The Israeli military has dropped leaflets over the Tyre District in southern Lebanon, warning residents to avoid moving south of at least 20 villages and not to approach the Litani River area, the Salhani Valley and Al-Salkuki, as Israeli forces say they plan to target what they call "Hezbollah sites" in those areas. The leaflets come as Israel continues to demolish villages in the zone along the border with bulldozers and explosives, having originally named about 60 villages and now occupying around 47 to 50 of them. The information in the leaflets, combined with an increasing frequency of air strikes north of the so-called "yellow line," suggests that areas beyond the line are not safe either.
Hezbollah says it has only fired rockets in recent days in response to Israel's violations of the ceasefire, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said he is returning fire deeper into Lebanon. Since the beginning of the ceasefire, neither side has stopped firing rockets, bombs or missiles, and the direction of travel appears to be towards further escalation.
