A 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel has begun, sparking cautious optimism despite fragile conditions on the ground. While some residents in Beirut celebrated, reports indicate ongoing tensions in southern Lebanon, including claims of continued Israeli shelling. Israel says its forces will remain in the south during the truce. The United States, which brokered the deal, said the ceasefire aims to enable direct talks and could be extended. Lebanon is expected to prevent attacks by armed groups, while Israel has pledged to halt offensive operations, reserving the right to self-defense. Both sides have agreed to pursue negotiations on unresolved issues, including border demarcation.
