Conflicts erupted between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon shortly after a ceasefire was reached, with Israeli forces continuing to strike the region despite the agreement. The Israeli military intercepted two projectiles that crossed into Israeli territory from Lebanon, while Israeli strikes killed at least four people and a UN peacekeeper was killed in crossfire on the day Hezbollah rejected the ceasefire agreement.

Hezbollah rejected a ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and the Lebanese government, demanding a complete Israeli withdrawal and stating that leaving southern Lebanon under fire would mean surrender. Hezbollah accused Israel of violating the ceasefire, citing clashes with Israeli troops and bombing of Tyre. According to Dawn, Israeli strikes killed 12 people in attacks on Zifta and Tyre.

The ceasefire is described as existing 'more on paper than reality', suggesting it is not functioning in practice. Clashes between Israel and Hezbollah have not halted, with Hezbollah rejecting proposals linking a ceasefire to its disarmament. Israeli strikes and evacuation orders have driven mass displacement across large parts of Lebanon. Beirut recorded 3,491 Israeli strikes since April 17, and a fresh bombardment damaged a Unesco heritage site in the capital.

US officials announced a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, with President Trump claiming he asked Israel for the ceasefire. A US and Qatar-brokered truce was reached through Tehran after 47 Lebanese were killed in response to the killing of 4 Israeli troops. An interim ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States took effect, bringing relative calm but also revealing the scale of destruction in Lebanon. Hezbollah denied having contact with Trump.
