Israel has stated it will continue launching attacks against targets it deems 'imminent threats' despite the U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Hezbollah. This position signals a potential return to the posture of targeted strikes that existed before the recent escalation. At the same time, Hezbollah is agreeing to the ceasefire deal while the IDF remains in southern Lebanon, holding positions up to the Litani River. The arrangement creates a tense standoff where Israel reserves the right to respond to any perceived threat.
