Under the directive of the political echelon, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon took effect today at 04:00 local time on Wednesday. IDF troops remain stationed in southern Lebanon in accordance with the agreement. However, in the past hour, IDF forces identified several vehicles carrying suspected Hezbollah members in a prohibited area near the border town of Kfar Kila. The IDF fired warning shots to prevent the suspects from reaching the restricted zone, prompting them to withdraw. The Israeli air force is on high alert and prepared to operate throughout Lebanon, and air defense systems are maintaining high readiness.
