(November 27, 2024) — People are returning to their damaged homes in parts of Lebanon as a fragile truce holds between Israel and Hezbollah, while the Lebanese armed group said it achieved “victory” over Israeli forces and that its fighters remain at the ready.

• Heavy Israeli bombardment is “absolutely terrifying” for Palestinian civilians who remain trapped in the north of the Gaza Strip, a senior UNRWA official said.
• Israel’s military placed a nighttime curfew on southern Lebanon, warning people that travelling south of the Litani River is “forbidden” until 7am local time (05:00 GMT) on Thursday.
• Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 44,282 Palestinians and wounded 104,880 others since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 were taken captive.
• In Lebanon, at least 3,823 people have been killed and 15,859 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began.

10 South Lebanese Villages Mark Prohibited Area

The Israeli military has again warned people in Lebanon not to return to their homes in the south of the country, this time publishing a map and naming specific villages along the border with northern Israel that are off-limits.

Naming the 10 Lebanese villages in a post on social media, the Israeli military’s Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee said the locations of the villages demarcate a line where residents are prohibited from entering.

“Until further notice, you are prohibited from moving south to the line of the following villages and their surroundings, and also within the villages themselves: Shebaa, al-Habbariyeh, Marjayoun, Arnoun, Yahmor, Qantara, Chaqra, Barashit, Yatar, al-Mansouri,” the spokesman said.

“Anyone who moves south of this line – puts himself in danger,” he said.

Israel’s Siege of North Gaza

Israeli forces separated Palestinian women and children from men – who were detained and sent to Israel for interrogation – as hundreds of civilians fled north Gaza’s besieged Beit Lahiya, the Associated Press news agency reports.

At least four people were killed in Israeli bombing of two houses in Beit Lahiya, Palestinian media reports.

Palestinian media also report that Israeli special forces arrested four men during a raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli police arrested four people at a protest in Jerusalem calling on Israel’s government to secure a deal to end the war in Gaza and free captives, Israel’s Maariv news outlet said.

The Israeli military’s Arabic-language spokesman issued a new warning and published a map indicating areas of southern Lebanon that the Israeli military said residents are prohibited from returning to.
