Israeli Ambassador Says Lebanon Ceasefire Took Effect at 6:30 p.m., Troops Will Stay in South
Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, said Israel halted its fire in Lebanon at 6:30 p.m. Israel time. He said that if Hezbollah stops its attacks, it will receive silence in return.
Leiter added that Israeli forces are in the security zone to clear it of Hezbollah and will remain there until that mission is completed. The statement presents Israel’s position on the next stage of the fighting in southern Lebanon, with the timeline tied to the ceasefire start time.
No additional details were given about a broader agreement, and the ambassador did not specify when the operation would end beyond saying Israel would stay until Hezbollah is removed from the area.
