🇱🇧 Tensions flared overnight as Lebanon's military reported Israeli shelling in southern border villages just hours after a ceasefire took effect at midnight Thursday. The Lebanese army urged residents to "hold off on returning" to affected areas, citing ongoing security risks. 🚨
While details remain scarce, local sources describe intermittent explosions near Kfar Kila and Marwahin – towns that saw heavy clashes earlier this week. No casualties have been reported yet. The Israeli military has not responded to the allegations as of Friday morning.

Young travelers and students with plans to visit Lebanon's historic south are advised to monitor official advisories. For global news enthusiasts tracking Middle East dynamics, this incident highlights the fragile nature of temporary truces in the region. 📉
