Israel and Lebanon extend ceasefire

President Donald Trump announced the extension of the Israel-Lebanon truce, suggesting there is a 'great chance' for a permanent peace deal.

The extension provides a temporary reprieve from the intense bombardment that has displaced over a million people in the region.

However, the agreement is described as fragile, with Israeli military operations continuing in southern towns like Khiam.

The standoff is further complicated by the ongoing naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
