As the Lebanese Army continues to bolster its presence in the western and central sectors, residents are returning to their hometowns and villages in southern Lebanon, particularly in Bint Jbeil. This marks a significant shift in an area devastated by the recent conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, where UNIFIL forces are carrying out regular patrols, and Civil Defense teams are working tirelessly to recover the bodies of those killed in the hostilities.

A key development has seen the Lebanese Army establishing a checkpoint at the entrance to Bani Hayyan, near Markaba. The municipality has responded by beginning efforts to clear and pave key roads, including the vital entrance leading toward the Wadi Al-Slouqi area. 

In Marjayoun, according to Lebanon's National News Agency, reinforcements for the Lebanese Army have been spotted at the outskirts of Mays El Jabal. The arrival of these additional troops sets the stage for an imminent military operation in the town, with troops preparing to enter in coordination with members of the Islamic Scout Association – Mays El Jabal Volunteer Center. As the army gears up to deploy, local residents have gathered at the town’s entrances, eager to accompany the forces as they make their entry.

Meanwhile, in Hula, local residents are anxiously awaiting the full deployment of the army, which would grant them access to their town.

Lebanese Army reinforcements have also been dispatched to the entrance of Aytaroun, where preparations are underway to enter the town alongside residents, contingent on the expected Israeli withdrawal from the area.

As military activity intensifies, the skies above the Rashaya Al-Wadi region have become a focal point for surveillance, with Israeli reconnaissance drones reportedly conducting low-altitude flights over the western slopes of Mount Hermon.
