Temporary Truce Takes Hold: Israel and Lebanon Begin 10-Day Ceasefire

A fragile 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has officially commenced, marking a critical pause in hostilities. The temporary agreement took effect at midnight local time, corresponding to 21:00 GMT.

This brief cessation of violence provides a crucial window for diplomatic efforts to gain momentum and for humanitarian aid to reach affected populations. Both nations now face the challenge of maintaining this delicate peace while international mediators work toward a more lasting resolution.
