The Israeli military has been instructed to scale back operations that could harm the ceasefire arrangement with Lebanon, according to Israeli media. The directive comes amid reported concerns in Jerusalem over potential US pressure to limit IDF activity in Lebanon.
The IDF was instructed to reduce operations that could undermine the recently signed tripartite ceasefire agreement between Israel, Lebanon, and the United States. The directive was reported by Israeli media at 19:57 Jerusalem time, without specifying which operations or theaters are affected. The move aligns with earlier reporting by The Zioneer (June 8, 20:05) that Israeli officials fear the Trump administration may request curbs on IDF activity in Lebanon — not only in the Dahieh area but more broadly — as part of facilitating U.S.-Iran negotiations. That assessment noted that the tripartite agreement was designed to sever the link between Tehran and Lebanon. The scope and duration of the new restrictions remain unconfirmed; the IDF has not issued an official statement.
