Tense and Cautious Night in Western Sector Villages Amidst Israeli Drone Activity

The villages in the western sector adjacent to the blue line experienced a night of caution and tension, marked by the dropping of flares in the sky. Traffic was non-existent except for patrols from UNIFIL forces. In the early hours of this morning, Israeli reconnaissance aircraft were spotted in the area, while the side opposite the blue line was devoid of Israeli soldiers or vehicles. Notably, the majority of residents in the bordering villages have fled to safer areas, and both public and private schools remain closed in compliance with the Minister of Education's decision. Economic activity has been paralyzed amid the security situation, particularly concerning labor in the banana and citrus fields from south of Tyre to Naqoura, where orchard owners fear entering the fields due to the risk of Israeli shelling.
