A 10-day ceasefire agreed on by Israel and Lebanon goes into effect
Both sides reported violations as displaced residents were warned to stay away from southern villages, Lebanese officials said.
- On Thursday at 5 P.M. EST, a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon took effect after US President Donald Trump announced the truce following conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
- This truce follows weeks of fighting triggered when Iran-backed Hezbollah opened fire on March 2, with Pakistan mediating the pause as part of broader US-Iran negotiations aimed at de-escalating regional tensions and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- Netanyahu confirmed Israeli troops will remain in a 10-kilometer security zone in southern Lebanon to prevent short-range rocket attacks, while Hezbollah officials stated their adherence is conditional on Israel halting all hostilities against the group.
- Trump invited Netanyahu and Aoun to the White House for what he described as the first meaningful peace talks between the countries since 1983, with both leaders expressing interest in advancing diplomatic efforts.
- Global markets rallied on ceasefire hopes, yet the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively gridlocked, and analysts warn that without firmer diplomatic guarantees, the fragile pause may fail to prevent prolonged economic disruption.
