Lebanon Ceasefire Begins

A brokered 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon officially commenced on Friday, aiming to halt weeks of devastating cross-border strikes and mass displacement.

U.S. President Donald Trump hailed the agreement as a historic step toward regional stability, signaling that broader peace talks with Iran could resume as early as this weekend.

Despite the cessation of major hostilities, the Lebanese military has already accused Israeli forces of several truce violations in the southern border region.

The pause in fighting is viewed as a critical window for humanitarian relief and a potential precursor to a more permanent regional settlement.
