An Israeli official confirmed Friday that Jerusalem has agreed to a ceasefire on the condition that Israeli forces remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon, and that any attack on Israeli positions will be met with a response, according to a single Israeli source.
An Israeli official confirmed Friday afternoon that Israel has agreed to a ceasefire arrangement, conditioned on the IDF maintaining its presence in the security zone in southern Lebanon. The source stated that any attack on Israeli forces would be met with retaliation. The announcement comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts between the U.S. and Iran, as well as between Israel and Hezbollah-linked factions. The Zioneer previously reported that President Trump indicated both Israel and Iran seek an immediate ceasefire, and that the U.S. siege on Iran would remain until a final deal. The terms of this conditional ceasefire — whether it covers all fronts and who the counterparty is — remain unspecified in this initial report. The source's single-claim status means corroboration is pending.
