Lebanon’s Army on Monday (June 15, 2026) urged displaced residents to delay their return to southern border villages, hours after an agreement was announced between Washington and Tehran to end the West Asia war, including in Lebanon.
“The Army command emphasises the need for residents to delay returning to southern border villages and towns, and to adhere to instructions of the deployed army units, in order to safeguard their safety from the risk of Israeli violations and attacks,” a statement said.
Since early Monday (June 15, 2026), AFP correspondents reported a cautious return of residents to several south Lebanon areas where Israeli forces are not present.
