Trump says Lebanon not included in US-Iran ceasefire amid Israeli assault

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Despite a ceasefire announcement brokered by Donald Trump between the US and Iran, Israel has stated it will continue its military operations in Lebanon. The Israeli Prime Minister's office clarified that the ceasefire, intended to pause strikes against Iran for two weeks, does not extend to Lebanon. This contradicts claims from Pakistan, which mediated the agreement, that the ceasefire included Lebanon. The Israeli military is continuing operations against Hezbollah and has ordered civilians in southern Lebanon to evacuate. While Trump's ceasefire announcement focused on Iran, it did not mention Lebanon, leaving the status of Israeli attacks there uncertain. Israel maintains that the conflict in Lebanon is separate and will continue despite any agreements with Iran.
