US Reports New Ceasefire Between Lebanon and Israel; Hezbollah Rejects Disarmament

The United States announced that Lebanon and Israel have reached a new ceasefire agreement, according to a statement released by the U.S. State Department. The deal was reportedly brokered after weeks of escalating tensions along the Israel‑Lebanon border.

Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group that has long opposed Israel, has vowed to continue its resistance and rejected any calls for disarmament. The group stated that it will not comply with the ceasefire terms that would require it to reduce its military capabilities.

The ceasefire comes amid ongoing hostilities in the region, with both sides accusing each other of violating previous agreements. The U.S. has urged all parties to adhere to the new terms to prevent further escalation.
