The militant group Hezbollah has halted attacks on northern Israel and Israeli troops in Lebanon in the early hours of Wednesday as part of a ceasefire between the US and Iran, Reuters reported, citing sources close to the group.
However, the situation on the ground remains tense. Israel has continued its attacks in southern Lebanon and issued a new evacuation order for the city of Tyre, signaling a possible offensive in the area. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the two-week ceasefire reached between the US and Iran does not include Lebanese territory, hinting that military operations in Lebanon will continue.
According to the cited sources, Hezbollah, backed by Iran, is expected to issue an official statement to clarify its position on the ceasefire, as well as Netanyahu's claim that Lebanon remains outside this agreement. The latest developments point to a fragile situation in the region, where despite diplomatic agreements, the risk of escalation remains high.
