Where does the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire stand?

Israel ​and Lebanon agreed on a ceasefire in mid-April​, which has ⁠since been extended into May.

However, Israel has maintained an occupation of southern Lebanon and demolished villages there, while Hezbollah has continued attacks on Israeli forces.

Tehran ⁠says ​any deal to end the wider Iran war war ​must also halt Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Washington says the issues are separate.

Lebanon's government wants ⁠a permanent deal with U.S. ally Israel that would end a repeated ​cycle of Israeli invasions and strikes, while stopping short of saying it ​wants a peace agreement with its southern neighbor.

Israel says any deal must permanently disarm Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Israel intensified air attacks on Lebanon after Hezbollah fired missiles at Israel on ‌March ⁠2, three days into the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Israel, thereafter, widened a ground invasion into Lebanon's south.
