10-Day Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire, Announced By Donald Trump

A 10-day ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump and agreed on by Lebanon and Israel went into effect as Friday began. 

The agreement could boost attempts to extend the ceasefire between Iran, the United States and Israel after weeks of devastating war. 

Israel has not been fighting with Lebanon



itself, but rather with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group inside Lebanon.

Hezbollah said in a statement that “any ceasefire must be comprehensive across all Lebanese territory and must not allow the Israeli enemy any freedom of movement.”

Nearly 2,200 people in Lebanon have been killed by Israeli air strikes.
