🛡️ CEASEFIRE WITH IRAN BEGINS AS ISRAEL CONTINUES OPERATIONS IN LEBANON AND MAINTAINS HIGH ALERT
🌍 U.S. CEASEFIRE FRAMEWORK: Following discussions with Pakistan’s leadership, President Donald Trump announces a two-week pause in planned U.S. attacks on Iran, conditioned on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
He describes the arrangement as a mutual ceasefire, states U.S. military objectives have been achieved, and says negotiations toward a broader agreement based on a 10-point proposal are nearing completion.
🇮🇱 ISRAEL’S POSITION: Israel formally backs the U.S. decision, linking its support to Iran reopening the strait and halting attacks against Israel, the United States, and regional states.
The Prime Minister’s Office clarifies that the ceasefire framework applies only to Iran and does not extend to Lebanon.
⚔️ IDF POSTURE AND DIRECTIVES: In line with political instructions, the IDF halts offensive operations against Iran while maintaining a high defensive readiness level.
The military states it is prepared to respond immediately to any violations and confirms that operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon are continuing.
💥 FINAL STRIKE PHASE IN IRAN: Israeli Air Force operations overnight targeted dozens of ballistic missile launch sites and weapon production facilities across Iran.
The IDF assesses that these strikes disrupted a planned large-scale missile barrage, with Iranian launches continuing until approximately 3:30 a.m. and Israeli strikes concluding around 3 a.m.
🛡️ HOME FRONT POLICY ADJUSTMENTS: Initial guidance maintained existing civilian restrictions pending further assessment despite the ceasefire announcement.
Authorities later ease most restrictions nationwide effective 6 a.m., while maintaining tighter limits in northern regions due to continued Hezbollah threat, including shelter-based schooling and capped gathering sizes.
⚠️ EVACUATION WARNINGS IN LEBANON: The IDF expands evacuation calls in southern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs, including specific targeting warnings in Tyre.
Lebanese Armed Forces and Hezbollah both urge civilians not to return to affected areas, citing ongoing risks and the absence of a formal Lebanon ceasefire.
⚔️ ONGOING FIGHTING WITH HEZBOLLAH: Israeli officials reiterate that operations against Hezbollah are independent of the Iran ceasefire framework.
While sources indicate Hezbollah may have paused attacks, Israeli strikes continue and Lebanese reports describe ongoing military activity.
🔥 LARGE-SCALE STRIKE WAVE IN LEBANON: The Israeli Air Force conducts its largest strike wave since the start of the conflict, hitting 100 targets within 10 minutes using approximately 50 aircraft.
Targets include command centers, intelligence sites, and operational infrastructure, with Lebanese reports citing significant casualties following extensive bombardment.
⚠️ CAMPAIGN CONTINUES DESPITE CEASEFIRE: The IDF states the strike wave was not a concluding action and confirms continued operational activity in Lebanon.
Additional strikes in Beirut and reported Hezbollah repositioning indicate an ongoing campaign shaped by operational timing rather than the Iran ceasefire.
⚓ MARITIME SECURITY WARNING
The IDF issues guidance for vessels off southern Lebanon to move north due to Hezbollah maritime activity.
The warning reflects active Israeli operations in the area and signals potential escalation in the naval domain.
