A fragile 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, effective since April 17, has halted major escalations, allowing displaced residents to return to Beirut's southern suburbs while Israeli forces maintain positions in southern Lebanon up to the Litani River. Ground operations, launched in mid-March, focus on dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure there, with airstrikes targeting Beirut peripheries but no verified IDF entry into the capital municipality. Hezbollah officials reject binding agreements from Lebanese talks, signaling potential violations, yet trader consensus reflects low odds of a Beirut incursion by late April due to logistical barriers, urban combat risks, and diplomatic pressures amid U.S. brokerage. The truce expires around April 27, with renewed evacuation orders south of the Zahrani River hinting at possible southern intensification over northern advances.
