Israel's Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter stated on X on Friday that Israel is "firmly committed to an immediate ceasefire," stressing that Israeli forces "halted offensive operations at 11:30 am" local time and rejecting Hezbollah and Iranian claims as "bold lies."
He added that Israel will remain in its security zone in southern Lebanon "until that mission is accomplished," referring to dismantling Hezbollah's infrastructure, and said lasting peace depends on the group's destruction.
The statement comes amid apparent contradictions, with official statements of around 150 Israeli strikes during the day. Lebanese authorities and media reported more than 40 casualties across over 10 strikes after the alleged 4 pm ceasefire start. On Thursday, US Vice President JD Vance mentioned that civilian deaths in Lebanon caused by Israeli strikes are "not acceptable."
