Lebanon announced that Hezbollah, a militant group based there, has agreed to stop launching attacks on Israel. This agreement comes after days of dangerous tension between Israel and Iran, when threats of military action flew back and forth across the Middle East.
The fighting nearly started after Israel struck targets in Iran earlier this month. Iran promised to strike back, which alarmed countries around the world worried about a bigger war. President Trump and other leaders called for calm, and both sides eventually stepped back from the edge.
Ordinary people in Lebanon and Israel are affected by this deal because they live closest to the conflict and face the most danger from attacks and military strikes. Families in border towns have lived with the threat of sudden violence for years, so a pause in fighting means they can feel safer for now.
Lebanon's government will work with international observers to make sure both sides stick to the agreement. The next few weeks will show whether Hezbollah truly stops its attacks and whether Israel honors the ceasefire in return.
