In southern Lebanon, fighting eases after the announcement of a US-Iran deal intended to end a wider conflict, but residents and authorities face uncertainty about its local impact. France 24 reports confusion in Lebanon as officials warn displaced people not to rush back home immediately, even as some attempt to return. Reuters, as cited by Al-Monitor, says southern authorities urge displaced residents to remain where they are following three months of war between Israel and Hezbollah. Israel states it will not withdraw its troops from the south, contributing to uncertainty over when and how any ceasefire terms would apply. France 24 also reports that despite the deal and related ceasefire claims, Lebanon experiences fresh Israeli strikes, prompting questions among civilians about whether conditions are stable. Channel NewsAsia describes a fragile ceasefire taking hold while displaced people are warned against returning too quickly. Al Jazeera similarly reports that residents begin returning as tensions remain, indicating that while overall hostilities may be lower, the situation on the ground in southern Lebanon remains unsettled and unclear for civilians.
