‘Enough Is Enough’: Trump Tells Israel to Halt Attacks on Lebanon - News From Antiwar.com

The agreement still lets Israel respond to planned or ongoing attacks, while the United States says it will separately address Hezbollah.

  • A U.S. official clarified on Friday that the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire prohibits offensive military operations against Lebanon but preserves Israel's right to self-defense against imminent or ongoing attacks.
  • President Trump announced the truce, initially stating Israel was prohibited from bombing Lebanon, which raised concerns among supporters that Israel might be restricted from countering Hezbollah's rocket fire.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue efforts to dismantle Hezbollah, stating, "We have not yet finished the job," as thousands of rockets forced the relocation of 1 million citizens in Israel.
  • Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz open to commercial traffic for the ceasefire duration, with Iran Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi stating vessels must use a "coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation."
  • Questions persist regarding the U.S. role in disarming Hezbollah, with commentator Mark Levin asking, "How will we disarm Hezbollah?" and warning the group might regenerate and reconstitute its forces.
