.A Hezbollah official told Al Jazeera that the ceasefire would hold if Israel abided by it.
Israel’s ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, also said on X: “Israel remains firmly committed to an immediate ceasefire. If Hezbollah honours the agreement and ceases its hostilities, they will be met with quiet.”
But Israel’s attacks continued almost immediately, leaving residents in southern Lebanon questioning whether the ceasefire had any meaning.
“It doesn’t feel much like a ceasefire,” said Al Jazeera’s Heidi Pett, reporting from Tyre in Lebanon after the Israeli attacks.
“Instead, there is a sense of deja vu. Each time a ceasefire is announced, we see a renewed burst of military activity on the ground”
“That has left many people here questioning what a ceasefire actually means,” added Pett.’

‘For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn
With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not forfeit. All of Lebanon must burn. Our supreme duty is to protect the citizens of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF, and this commitment takes
precedence over every other consideration. I told the Prime Minister, even in our private meetings: For every tear of an Israeli mother, a
thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. Enough with the ping-pong. In the Middle East, you don't win with measured responses and
restraint-
you need to go berserk. To obliterate.
To crush the terror.’

‘ Itamar Ben‑Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich: the Netanyahu government extremists sanctioned by the UK
June 16, 2025 5.27pm
The UK’s decision to impose sanctions on two far-right Netanyahu government ministers has put it at loggerheads with the Trump administration over Israel. Announcing on June 10 that Britain would join Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway in sanctioning Israel’s minister for national security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and minister of finance, Bezalel Smotrich, the UK foreign secretary David Lammy said the pair had “incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights”.
