Israel says established a ‘yellow line’ in Lebanon, as it has in Gaza
The map shows a 10-kilometer security buffer and 55 villages off-limits as Israeli forces target suspected Hezbollah positions.
- On Sunday, the IDF officially published a map outlining a "Forward Defense Zone" in Southern Lebanon, dubbed the "Yellow Line," marking territory where Israeli forces continue to operate.
- Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day truce, which went into effect on Thursday; five divisions remain active on the ground to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure following a massive 24-hour offensive preceding the ceasefire.
- Since the start of hostilities, approximately 8,000 rockets and roughly 140 anti-tank missiles were fired from Lebanon into Israel, while over 150 terrorists were eliminated and 300 military infrastructures were struck in one final day.
- Currently, 190 villages are under Israeli control, as the establishment of the "Yellow Line" represents Israel's strategy to maintain a physical buffer within Lebanese territory and prevent residents from returning.
- By holding this line, the IDF aims to ensure Hezbollah cannot rebuild forward positions or launch cross-border raids into the Galilee, despite the "forward defence line" not appearing in ceasefire terms published by the United States.

Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire on Thursday in order to negotiate an end to six weeks of war between Israel and the Iran-backed group Hezbollah.
