Lebanon announces partial ceasefire between Israel, Hezbollah but attacks continue

# Lebanon announced ​a partial ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel in what would amount to a limited de-escalation of a conflict that has ‌killed thousands of people and inflamed the US-Israeli war with Iran. Lebanon’s embassy in Washington says the agreement would not end the conflict, but it calls for Israel to refrain from strikes on Beirut and its suburbs controlled by Hezbollah, while the Iranian-aligned group would halt its attacks on Israel. Lebanon adds it would seek to expand the ceasefire in talks ​with Israel in Washington tomorrow.
