The Islamic Health Authority called on people not to go to their villages and towns before confirming that the ceasefire has been officially announced and entered into force by the competent authorities, stressing that personal safety must remain the top priority at this stage, because risks do not automatically end with the cessation of military operations. In a statement, the Authority stressed the need for returnees to adhere to a set of preventive instructions, most notably not to go to villages at night and wait for daylight hours, and to ensure in advance the safety of roads and affected areas before returning to them. It also called for filling fuel tanks before setting off, given the possible absence of services in some of the targeted areas and the congestion of the roads leading to the villages, warning against approaching any foreign or suspicious objects that may pose a threat to the lives of citizens, and the need to report them immediately to the competent authorities. She stressed the need to be careful of damaged or cracked buildings and not to enter them before ensuring their structural integrity, in addition to examining the gas and electricity networks and ensuring that there are no leaks or malfunctions before reusing them. The authority also called for ensuring the safety of drinking water, using personal protective equipment while cleaning homes and property, and communicating with medical and emergency teams when needed, as well as monitoring children and preventing them from approaching rubble or unknown objects. In parallel with these warnings, a timid return of the displaced to the city of Tire and a number of villages in the south was recorded, while several municipalities issued statements calling on the people to be patient and not to rush to return before completing field procedures and ensuring the stability of the security conditions. These calls come in light of the people's anticipation for the start of the post-confrontation phase, after southern Lebanon witnessed large waves of displacement during the past months as a result of the repeated raids and attacks that targeted border towns and villages and residential areas. With every announcement of a calm or ceasefire, warnings are repeated about the remnants of war, especially unexploded ordnance, damaged buildings and damaged infrastructure, which often pose an immediate danger to civilians returning to their homes. The concerned authorities confirm that safe return requires completing field surveys and inspections and removing potential dangers, in a way that ensures the safety of residents and prevents accidents or injuries in the post-confrontation phase.
