Contacts for a ceasefire in Lebanon amid security escalation

In the last day, intensive contacts have been underway in an attempt to lead to a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. According to a report on the Lebanese network LBC as published on News from the Field on Telegram, Egypt is holding frantic talks for fear of a broad escalation, but as of now, no significant breakthrough has been recorded.

At the same time, a report on Al Jazeera channel cited on YINONEWS - Yinon Magal indicates that Hezbollah is setting a condition for an agreement: a parallel Israeli commitment to a ceasefire. An official Lebanese source conveyed a similar message to the United States, as published on the channel Ongoing Security based on 'Axios' data.

Despite the diplomacy, the field continues to burn. It was reported on News in Real Time on Telegram that Hezbollah conveyed a "counter-message" by launching rockets toward Tiberias and a military base in the north of the country. Following the launches, voices were heard among commentators and security officials demanding a sharp military response.

Almog Boker, who is identified with a hardline security stance, stated firmly that "if Hezbollah indeed launched rockets at communities in the north, even though it committed not to, Israel must attack in Beirut now!". This position also received resonance on News in Real Time on Telegram, emphasizing the expectation for action by the Air Force as a response to the violation of commitments by the terrorist organization.
