This is the first time the Israeli military has mentioned establishing a yellow line in Lebanon. This yellow line is similar to the one set up in Gaza, used to separate areas controlled by the Israeli military and the Palestinian armed group Hamas. Israeli troops frequently open fire on those approaching the yellow line.
The Israeli military stated today: "Terrorists (of Hezbollah) were found violating the ceasefire consensus, approaching the Israeli military from north of the yellow line, posing an immediate threat."
The IDF further stated: "To eliminate the threat... the IDF attacked these terrorists in multiple areas." They emphasized that despite the recently reached ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, the IDF remains authorized to take action against immediate threats.
Another statement issued in the evening pointed out that the Israeli Air Force had "eliminated terrorists in southern Lebanon who were operating and approaching Israeli troops near the yellow line."
Israel and Lebanon agreed on the 16th to a 10-day ceasefire, during which negotiations will take place to end the 6-week conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. (Translator: Ji Jin-ling) 1150419
