Lebanon experienced a significant reduction in hostilities on Monday after a U.S.-Iran agreement aimed at ending the wider regional conflict took effect. However, isolated clashes continued, with an Israeli drone strike reportedly killing one person in southern Lebanon and the Lebanese group Hezbollah launching rockets and drones at Israeli forces.
The agreement, brokered with assistance from Pakistan, called for an immediate and permanent halt to military operations across all fronts, including Lebanon. Despite the announcement, Israeli troops remain deployed in parts of southern Lebanon captured during the three-month conflict.
Security sources reported that while violence has largely subsided, sporadic incidents continue. An Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in Kfar Tebnit, killing its driver, while Hezbollah claimed responsibility for attacks on Israeli military vehicles operating near the border.
The conflict has had a devastating humanitarian impact, leaving nearly 3,800 people dead and displacing approximately 1.2 million residents across Lebanon. The fighting intensified after Hezbollah opened a front against Israel in support of Iran earlier this year.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israeli forces would remain in southern Lebanon for as long as necessary, despite calls for withdrawal. He said Israel would continue taking action against any perceived threats from Hezbollah.
Hezbollah welcomed the U.S.-Iran agreement but warned that any continued Israeli military operations could jeopardize the ceasefire. The group insisted that lasting peace depends on both sides fully respecting the terms of the deal.
Meanwhile, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri praised the agreement and expressed hope that it would help restore stability to the country. Authorities have nonetheless advised displaced residents to delay returning to their homes until security conditions improve.
Although the ceasefire has reduced fighting, uncertainty remains over its long-term success as tensions persist between Israel and Hezbollah.
