Israeli military imposed strict nighttime movement restrictions in South Lebanon, warning against approaching force positions or evacuated border villages. Announced curfew south of Litani River from 5 PM Wednesday to 7 AM Thursday local time.

Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz issued strict orders preventing residents from entering border villages during "first phase of ceasefire implementation."

IDF reported arresting 4 Hezbollah members, including local leader, accusing them of breaching "restricted zone," threatening "harsh action against violations." Chief of Staff Halevi confirmed continued field presence, emphasizing deterrence against village returns.

Lebanese Army urged border area residents to delay return until Israeli forces' withdrawal completes. Restrictions coincide with Wednesday morning's US-French-mediated ceasefire implementation.

Strict security measures reflect sensitivity of agreement's first phase amid violation concerns. Israeli military leadership's firm stance indicates continued border tension despite internationally-sponsored ceasefire.
