Despite a US-Iran ceasefire agreement, Israel conducted airstrikes in southern Lebanon where it fights the Iran-backed Hezbollah. Israel asserts that the ceasefire deal does not apply to the conflict within Lebanon. The war has resulted in over 1,500 deaths and displaced more than 1.2 million people in Lebanon.
Israel has halted strikes on Iranian missile facilities but continues fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon. The truce with Tehran stopped attacks on key Iranian military sites, but the situation in Lebanon is being treated separately. Conflicting reports suggest Lebanon might be included in the truce, keeping regional tensions high.
Israel stated that it is continuing air strikes and ground operations against the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Iranian president declared the ceasefire a victory, stating it aligns with Tehran's general requirements. Israel accepted the US-Iran two-week ceasefire but clarified that Lebanon is not included in the agreement.
Despite a US-brokered pause in hostilities with Iran, Israel stated it will continue operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Israel supports a ceasefire between the US and Iran but has explicitly excluded Lebanon from its scope. As Israeli strikes continue, Lebanese residents remain wary due to repeated ceasefire violations and ongoing displacement. This suggests that tensions in the Middle East region remain highly elevated.
Israel endorsed President Trump's two-week halt to strikes against Iran but clarified that Lebanon is excluded from the ceasefire. Israel supported the US move on the condition that Iran opens the strait and ceases attacks on the US and regional countries. Iran confirmed that negotiations with the US would commence in Islamabad on April 10.
Israel launched airstrikes in southern Lebanon, signaling that the recent US-Iran ceasefire agreement does not apply to Lebanon. Israel clarified that its operations against Hezbollah are separate from the Iran ceasefire understanding. While Pakistan, the mediator, stated Lebanon is part of the truce, concerns about escalating tensions are rising.
Israel has resumed strikes on southern Lebanon, asserting that the Iran war truce does not cover Lebanon. The Israeli army also issued an evacuation warning for a building near the southern city of Tyre. The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has not claimed any operations since the truce was announced.
Israel has resumed strikes in southern Lebanon, despite a broader Middle East truce. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu insists the Iran truce does not cover Lebanon, where Iran-backed Hezbollah is active. While French President Macron hopes the truce includes Lebanon, the southern region remains under threat of Israeli attacks.
At least ten people were killed in Lebanon following Israeli strikes after Prime Minister Netanyahu stated the Iran-US ceasefire 'does not include Lebanon.' Israel continues to strike southern Lebanon and issued evacuation threats to Tyre residents. This contradicts the broader ceasefire agreement announced by the Pakistani Prime Minister.
