As of 11 a.m. local time, the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah seems to be holding. The ceasefire went into effect at 4 a.m. local time on Wednesday, leading to thousands of displaced Lebanese starting to return to their homes in the south.
Despite warnings from both Lebanon's army and the Israeli military advising residents not to return home yet, many have begun the journey back. Earlier this morning, the Israeli military took action by firing in the direction of several vehicles in Lebanese territory to prevent them from reaching a restricted area. The vehicles eventually withdrew following the Israeli fire, according to the IDF.
Defense Minister Israel Katz has urged the military to respond forcefully and without compromise to Hezbollah's advances. The situation remains tense as both sides navigate the delicate ceasefire agreement.
