US President Donald Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon on Thursday via social media. The move comes amid a conflict that has killed over 2,100 people and displaced 1.2 million since Hezbollah launched rockets at northern Israel. Lebanon's government has been trying to assert its sovereignty and control over Hezbollah, a militia backed by Iran. The conflict has caused significant humanitarian and economic damage, with Israel's military controlling large areas of southern Lebanon. The ceasefire's success is uncertain, with Lebanese officials warning that lasting peace will take time.
