Israel issues warning on travel in vehicles amid ‘heavy fighting in south’ Lebanon
The Israeli military has warned people to not travel in vehicles from north of the Litani River in southern Lebanon to the area south of the river.
Heavy fighting is taking place between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters in the south of Lebanon, the military said, and accused the Lebanese armed group of “exploiting the civilian environment and civilians as human shields to launch their attacks”.
In the interests of “personal safety”, the Israeli military’s Arabic language spokesman Avichay Adraee said people should not travel by vehicle in the designated area. Israeli forces “will disrupt the movements of Hezbollah elements and prevent them from carrying out their attacks,” Adraee said in a post on social media.
“This warning is in effect until further notice,” he said.

The army on Tuesday announced a “limited, localised and targeted” ground assault against Hezbollah. The military has said the ground invasion is largely aimed at destroying tunnels and other infrastructure on the border.
