On Monday afternoon, Israeli forces bombed the outskirts of the town of Al-Dhahira and the town of Yarin on the Lebanese-Palestinian border.
On Sunday, the Israeli occupation army declared the border with Lebanon a closed military zone, with repeated clashes and mutual shelling with Palestinian factions and Lebanese Hezbollah, the most recent wave of which hours ago resulted in the death of an Israeli.
According to a Sky News Arabia correspondent, the Israeli occupation army considers a 4-kilometre-wide strip inside Israel on the border with Lebanon a closed military zone.
This decision means that civilians are prohibited from entering the area.
He added that Israel asked residents of areas in the Galilee adjacent to the border with Lebanon to go to shelters.
