The Lebanese border has been calm in recent hours as a temporary truce has taken effect in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, according to Lebanese state media and the Israeli military.
Hezbollah, which has been carrying out daily attacks on Israel along its northern border since October 7, has indicated it will also hold its fire in the next four days of the ceasefire in Gaza, though it was not part of the deal mediated by Qatar. Israel has not given any indication whether it will avoid targeting Hezbollah during this time.
“A precarious calm reigned on the southern border, with the humanitarian truce in Gaza coming into effect at 7 a.m.,” Lebanon’s official National News Agency reports.
Hours after the Gaza pause went into force, an Israeli military spokesman confirms to AFP that there have been no subsequent incidents or firing so far across the Lebanon border.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
