Israel suspends attacks on Iran after ceasefire and continues operations in Lebanon

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed the suspension of military strikes against Iranian targets following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the two countries.

The development signals a temporary pause in direct confrontation between Israel and Iran, after weeks of escalating tensions.

In an official statement released on Wednesday, the Israeli military said it had stopped offensive operations against Iran in line with instructions from the country’s political leadership.

However, the IDF stressed that its forces remain on high alert and ready to respond quickly to any violation of the agreement.

Despite the ceasefire announcement, the situation remains fragile.

Reports indicate that Iran fired rockets towards Israel shortly after the truce was declared, raising concerns about its long-term stability and viability.

Israeli officials noted that recent attacks have focused on Iranian missile infrastructure, including launch sites and related equipment.

While suspending attacks on Iran, Israel confirmed it will continue operations against Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group operating in Lebanon.

Israeli authorities maintain that Lebanon is not included in the ceasefire agreement, leaving military activity on the northern front ongoing.

There appear to be differing interpretations on the scope of the ceasefire between the parties involved.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who brokered the deal, has suggested that the truce be extended to Lebanon.

His remarks, shared on social media platform X, highlight uncertainty over the terms of the ceasefire and its regional implications.

The conflicting positions have fueled doubts about the duration of the ceasefire.

Regional observers say the situation remains fluid, with both diplomatic and military developments likely to determine the next phase of the conflict.
