BEIRUT, June 2:

Lebanese authorities have announced a partial ceasefire aimed at reducing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah following days of intense cross-border hostilities. The move is expected to ease attacks in certain areas, though military activity has not completely stopped.

Confusion surrounds the agreement, with different parties offering varying accounts of its terms and scope. While officials describe it as a step toward de-escalation, details on enforcement, duration, and conditions remain unclear.

Analysts warn that the fragile arrangement could face challenges unless both sides agree on a broader framework to prevent renewed violence. International mediators continue efforts to secure a more comprehensive ceasefire and avoid further regional instability.
