Israeli official: Lebanese residents won't return south of Litani until northern security ensured

An Israeli official stated that hundreds of thousands of southern Lebanese residents who fled northward will not be allowed to return south of the Litani River until security for Israel's northern residents is guaranteed. All five bridges over the Litani that Hezbollah used for moving terrorists and weapons have been destroyed, and the IDF will control remaining bridges and the security zone up to the Litani. "The principle is clear: where there is terror and rockets, there will be no houses and no residents," the official said, adding that Israel will not allow a return to the situation of October 7.
