The IDF “allows” evacuated residents of the North to return to their homes.

A military source told reporters that conditions for the safe return of residents of the North have already been created, and the army has lifted the ban on returning to the border zone. He also noted that the tasks of the ground operation in Lebanon were completed, the army did not receive instructions to continue operations.

Work to restore the destroyed infrastructure has already begun in the border area. However, despite the military's optimistic statements, rocket attacks from Lebanon continue, and life in the North is far from peaceful. The return of evacuees is becoming a pressing issue, but politicians are not ready to take responsibility.

The military's messages have political overtones – the army is signaling that it has completed its tasks, but demands action from the government. The sacked defense minister said military missions in Gaza had been completed and keeping soldiers there no longer made sense.
