On Monday night, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared several areas near the northern border with Lebanon as closed military zones. This action affects Rosh Hankara, Shlomi, Kibbutz Hanita, Kibbutz Adamit, and Arab al-Aramshe, restricting public access due to rising security concerns.

The IDF's decision comes after an in-depth assessment of the current security situation in northern Israel, particularly considering the ongoing conflict involving Hezbollah terrorists from Lebanon. This strategic move is intended to enhance security measures amid escalating tensions in the region.

Authorities emphasize that entry into these designated military areas is strictly prohibited, reinforcing safety protocols to protect civilians from potential threats. The IDF remains vigilant, closely monitoring developments in the area to ensure public safety.
