Clashes continue in Lebanon despite Israel and Hezbollah accepting US partial ceasefire plan

2 June 2026

Jaroslav Lukiv

Clashes have continued in southern Lebanon despite Israel and Hezbollah accepting a US plan for a partial ceasefire.

President Donald Trump said on Monday that he had spoken to both sides and "they agreed that all shooting will stop", after Iran warned Israeli military actions in Lebanon were a threat to the US-Iran ceasefire.

Lebanon said Hezbollah had accepted the plan for it to halt attacks on Israel and for Israel not to attack the Lebanese capital Beirut.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the agreement. But he said strikes on Beirut would go ahead "if Hezbollah does not stop attacking our cities and civilians", and that Israeli forces would still operate in south Lebanon.

While the ceasefire appears to be largely holding, there was further violence overnight.

is that it is based on what Krasnov says happened. This statement was designed to lower the price of crude oil.

There will be no joy in Magatville on the 4th of July with $7/gal gasoline.

The ceasefire is just for Beirut, Israel is allowed to attack other parts of the country.

And things are so chaotic that it barely got covered here that BiBi announced his intention to violate the cease fire in Gaza by expanding their troop control to 70% of Gaza with the aim being 100% eventually. Israel still bombs Gaza most days and is still blocking food and medicine from reaching most of the desperate people there.
