A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon has been in place since last week after more than six weeks of war.
The current agreement states that Israel should refrain from "offensive" operations against targets in Lebanon, but the country may defend itself against planned, imminent or ongoing attacks.
From shelling to war again?
Many in Lebanon fear a repeat of the events of the 2024 ceasefire, when months of mutual shelling led to open warfare between Israel and Hezbollah. A ceasefire was agreed at the end of November 2024. However, both sides repeatedly accused each other of violations. The Israeli military continued to attack the neighboring country almost daily. According to the UN, dozens of civilians were also killed in the process.
Israeli soldiers are still stationed in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah claimed to have attacked Israeli tanks there in the afternoon.
