Hezbollah pauses attacks on Israel under US-Iran ceasefire

# Hezbollah militants in Lebanon halted fire ​on northern Israel and Israeli soldiers in Lebanon this morning as part of the US-Iranian ceasefire announced earlier. Key intermediary in ceasefire talks, Pakistani prime minister Shehbaz ​Sharif, says the ​two-week ceasefire would include Lebanon, where a new war ⁠between Iranian-backed Hezbollah and Israel broke out early last month. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier the truce would not include Lebanon. Israel has issued a new ​evacuation order for a southern city, indicating it would strike ​there soon.
