Israel has continued military operations in Gaza and Lebanon as a fragile ceasefire in Gaza largely holds, despite sporadic clashes and airstrikes.
Ceasefire Status in Gaza
The ceasefire in Gaza remains in its first of three proposed phases. While major fighting has paused, intermittent clashes between Israeli forces and Gaza militants have been reported, along with deadly Israeli airstrikes.
Israeli troops inside Gaza have pulled back to what officials describe as the “yellow line.” Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said the line now functions as a new border position with the enclave.
Unresolved Issues
Negotiations over the second phase of the ceasefire have not yet been finalized. Israeli officials say the remains of one deceased hostage are still believed to be inside Gaza.
Strikes in Lebanon
Beyond Gaza, Israeli strikes are continuing against alleged Hezbollah targets in southern and eastern Lebanon, signaling ongoing regional tensions despite the ceasefire framework in Gaza.
