A ten-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, brokered by US President Donald Trump, officially commenced at midnight. This temporary halt comes after more than a month of intense conflict that resulted in nearly two thousand and two hundred casualties in Lebanon.
Despite the agreement, Israeli forces are maintaining their ground operations in southern Lebanon, asserting they will retain control of these areas during the pause. Meanwhile, Hezbollah issued a statement demanding that any ceasefire must encompass all Lebanese territory without granting Israeli forces operational freedom.
Diplomatic efforts are intensifying to establish a permanent resolution. The United Nations Secretary-General welcomed the temporary truce, expressing hope that it paves the way for lasting peace and an end to the widespread suffering on both sides of the border.
