Israel Establishes Lebanon Buffer Zone

The military zone, referred to as the 'yellow line,' restricts movement and allows Israeli forces to target anyone who approaches.

Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that troops have been instructed to use 'full force' to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure.

Some displaced residents who attempted to return to their homes have encountered smouldering ruins and ongoing military operations.

The strategy mirrors measures previously imposed in Gaza and has raised concerns about the durability of the 10-day truce.
