The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon took effect at 9:05 PM, following heavy Hezbollah rocket fire that wounded several Israelis in Karmiel and Nahariya just before the truce. Early morning reports focused on Lebanese accusations of Israeli ceasefire violations and President Trump's repeated calls for Hezbollah to 'act nicely', while residents began returning to southern Lebanon and Hezbollah supporters celebrated. By late morning, Defense Minister Katz issued an ultimatum for Hezbollah's disarmament and announced Israel would maintain a security zone in Lebanon, with Hezbollah defiantly refusing. In early afternoon, Iran announced it would fully open the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping, explicitly linking this to the Lebanon ceasefire, which Trump immediately welcomed while maintaining the naval blockade. By mid-afternoon, Trump declared Israel was 'prohibited' from bombing Lebanon, stating 'enough is enough', with multiple sources noting Israel had agreed to the ceasefire at his request while maintaining its military positions.
