Hezbollah says halted operations in south, Israel claims stopping activities
A Hezbollah official told Reuters on Monday that the group has not carried out any operations since the Iran-U.S. deal was announced and that its position on the ceasefire was linked to Israel's adherence to it.
He added that Iran delayed signing the deal with the U.S. to monitor Israel's adherence to the ceasefire in Lebanon.
Israel's Channel 12 meanwhile said that "all of the Israeli army's military activities" in south Lebanon have stopped, including "entry into houses suspected of being Hezbollah arms depots."
It also quoted two military units on Lebanon's border as saying that "it is prohibited to take any measure against the displaced who are returning to their villages in south Lebanon."
Despite the claims, an Israeli drone strike targeted a car near Nabatieh, artillery shelling hit several southern towns and Israeli drones continued to overfly south Lebanon and Beirut and its suburbs.
