Israeli forces dropped leaflets over the southern Lebanese town of Mansouri on Friday ordering residents to leave, Lebanese state media reported, the first such order issued since a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect. A senior Lebanese military official said Israel had recently added the town to a zone occupied by Israeli troops inside southern Lebanon, Reuters reported. Lebanese officials say Israeli troops are enforcing the zone's northern boundary by firing at anyone approaching it, including civilians and Lebanese soldiers. The military official said farmers had continued to enter and leave Mansouri, but had not been living there.
