The IDF has paused airstrikes in Lebanon, a military source says, following Iran's warning that any Israeli operation in Lebanon would trigger renewed retaliation. The move aligns with earlier reports that the political echelon ordered a pause on the Iranian front; further details were not provided.
The IDF has halted airstrikes in Lebanon following an Iranian threat, according to a military source. The pause comes after Iran warned that any Israeli operation in southern Lebanon would trigger renewed retaliation, and after the political echelon reportedly ordered a halt to strikes on the Iranian front.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday (17:49 Jerusalem), IDF airstrikes on Lebanon had already paused for about an hour at that point; the current report suggests the pause is now broader and directly tied to the Iranian threat.
Multiple background reports from the past two weeks — including an IDF warning against cross-front entanglement and orders to maintain operations in southern Lebanon while pausing in Iran — provide some context for the decision. However, the exact scope and duration of the current pause remain unconfirmed, and no official statement from the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has been issued.
