Despite Hezbollah's public rejection of cease-fire, the group accepted it in talks, source says
US Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa (R) listens as State Department Chief of Staff Daniel Holler speaks during a meeting between Israeli and Lebanese delegations hosted by the United States at the State Department in Washington, DC, on June 3, 2026.
IDF issues evacuation orders to all of southern Lebanon, says fighting to continue
After Israel walked back from the brink of escalation in Lebanon earlier this week, the two countries announced early on Thursday that they agreed to renew the fragile cease-fire that collapsed when Hezbollah joined the Iran war in early March.
A statement co-signed by Israel, Lebanon and the United States said the cease-fire is contingent on Hezbollah removing all its fighters from the area south of the Litani River and a "complete cessation" of its fire.
Israel and Lebanon also agreed to create "pilot zones in which the Lebanese Armed Forces will take exclusive control of the territory," the statement said without specifying the timetables for an Israeli withdrawal and the "evacuation of Hezbollah" north of the Litani River, nor detailing where the aforementioned Hezbollah-free zones will be.
While Hezbollah's Secretary-General Naim Qassem rejected the cease-fire – a move coordinated with Iran, according to a Lebanese source affiliated with the group – an Israeli source told Haaretz that Hezbollah agreed to the deal's terms, citing Lebanese representatives to the talks.
Another Lebanese source later told Haaretz that Hezbollah "more or less agreed to stop if Israel stops."
Lebanon's President Aoun later said that Beirut had proposed "pilot areas" from which Israel would withdraw, including the Zoutar area in Nabatieh and Beaufort Castle, which was seized earlier this week by the IDF. Aoun concluded that this agreement is different from the one reached in 2024, "because it will be sustainable, and we rely on the role of President Trump and his administration."
Meanwhile, the IDF issued an evacuation order for the entirety of southern Lebanon, saying the war hasn't ended and calling on residents to "refrain from heading south of the Zahrani River until further notice." A source later told Haaretz that Israeli forces are preparing for the "next stage" of implementing a cease-fire, but did not use the term "withdrawal."
The UN's Interim Force in Lebanon said it had not observed an Israeli withdrawal, adding that it had not documented Hezbollah attacks and had noticed a decrease in the scale of Israeli strikes.
An Israeli source told Haaretz that Israel does not intend to withdraw from areas south of Lebanon's Litani River, and had agreed not to carry out offensive actions against Hezbollah, including the demolition of homes, in exchange for Hezbollah ceasing offensive actions against Israeli forces.

Phew! In time for another round of stock market manipulation? Seems familiar somehow…
Or more or less indifferent to religions? If somebody gets some peace out of believing in whatever then all the power to them, & if somebody uses their religion as a cudgel against their neighbours, well, that’s just a poor excuse at best. That help?
It's all about the truth and awareness of the truth Ronnie. The greater truth from deNile to the Euphrates.
