The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have declared the areas of Metula, Misgav Am, and Kfar Giladi in northern Israel, near the Lebanon border, as a closed military zone. This decision follows a situational assessment by Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin. The IDF has emphasized that entry into these areas is strictly prohibited. The move is seen as a precautionary measure as tensions rise along the northern border, particularly in the Upper Galilee region, with a potential ground offensive against Hezbollah being prepared.
