The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) said on Saturday five new areas along its border with Lebanon had been declared a closed military zone, as it continues its assault on Lebanon.

"Following a situational assessment, the areas of Zarit, Shomera, Shtula, Netua, and Even Menachem in northern Israel will be declared a closed military zone as of 20:00 today (17:00 GMT)," the statement said, adding that “entry to this area is prohibited”.

These settlements are located around the Western Galilee.
