On April 17, 2026, Israel's Defence Minister stated that the military operation against Hezbollah is 'still not complete.' This announcement comes amid a backdrop of heightened tensions in the region.
The ceasefire, which was announced by US President Donald Trump, follows a meeting between Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors. This marks the first direct diplomatic talks between the two nations in decades, highlighting a potential shift in relations.
While the ceasefire is set for 10 days, the situation remains fluid, and it is unclear how this will impact ongoing military actions or future negotiations.
