Kandice Ardiel, the Deputy Spokesperson of the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), has said that the situation in south Lebanon has become less tense following Sunday’s flare-up between Israel and Hezbollah.

In an interview with al-Hurra television, Ardiel added that she is reassured that the war will end soon.

Stefanie McCollum, Canada's Ambassador to Lebanon, has welcomed the Lebanese government’s latest announced plan for stability in the south.

"It would see the LAF (Lebanese Army) assuring the security in the south," McCollum said, in an interview on LBCI television.

Intensive diplomatic contacts “accompanied and followed Sunday’s confrontations” between Israel and Hezbollah, a media report said.

“Washington simultaneously exerted pressures on the Lebanese and Israeli sides to rein in escalation and avoid descending into the war mistake, stressing that the two sides need to engage in the diplomatic solution course,” al-Joumhouria newspaper quoted “credible sources” as saying.

Three civilians were injured Tuesday in an Israeli drone strike on the southern town of al-Majadel in the Tyre district, as relative calm returned following a heavy exchange of strikes between Israel and Hezbollah on Sunday.

A fourth civilian was moderately injured in a strike on Shihine, the Health Ministry said.

U.S. army chief Gen. CQ Brown and Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi made a joint visit Monday to the Israeli military’s Northern Command headquarters, a day after a major flare-up between Hezbollah and Israel.

“The commanders held a situational assessment in the IAF Operational Command Center yesterday (Sunday). Today (Monday), the commanders visited the headquarters of the Northern Command, where they were presented with the ongoing combat against Hezbollah during the war and the operational plans for the future,” the Israeli army said.

Israel’s government has extended housing grants for Israeli evacuees and families of hostages by one month until the end of September, as the war drags on with no immediate end in sight.

Thousands of Israelis are still living in temporary housing as the war nears its 11th month. They have been displaced in the south by ongoing rocket fire from the Gaza Strip and in the north from Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

Despite a flare-up in violence between Israel and Hezbollah on Sunday, both sides appeared to show restraint, averting all-out war amid 10 months of clashes on the Israel-Lebanon border.

AFP looks at what happened and whether the chance of a broader regional conflict still looms as the Gaza war grinds on.

Air France will resume its flights to Tel Aviv and Beirut on Tuesday after a two-day halt following the latest Israel-Hezbollah flare-up, the airline said.

Gen. CQ Brown, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, has met with top Israeli defense leaders and visited the Israeli military’s Northern Command headquarters.

Navy Capt. Jereal Dorsey, Brown’s spokesperson, said the chairman met with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Israeli Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi in Tel Aviv, and he participated in operational updates with Israeli army senior leaders.

Israel and Hezbollah pulled back after an exchange of heavy fire over the weekend that briefly raised fears of an all-out war.

But their decades-long conflict is far from over, regional tensions linked to the war in Gaza are still high, and it's probably only a matter of time before another escalation.
