US President Donald Trump has issued a statement declaring that strikes on Lebanon are “prohibited”. The statement was made in response to the recent ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

According to reports, thousands of Lebanese people have attempted to return home after the truce. The Israeli government had accepted the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, which was brokered by US President Trump.

The ceasefire has been met with mixed reactions from various parties involved. Some have expressed concerns about whether Hezbollah, a militant group based in Lebanon, will abide by the agreement.
