Lebanon’s Hezbollah halted fire ​on northern Israel and on Israeli troops in Lebanon in ‌the early hours of Wednesday as part of the US-Iran ceasefire announced earlier, three Lebanese sources close to the group told Reuters.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz ​Sharif, a key intermediary in ceasefire talks, said the ​two-week ceasefire would include Lebanon, where a new war ⁠between Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel broke out on March 2.

Reuters ​reported last month that Iran wanted Lebanon included in any deal it ​made with the United States.

But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said early on Wednesday the truce would not include Lebanon.

Israel has issued a new ​evacuation order for one southern city, indicating it would strike ​there soon.

Iran-backed Hezbollah is likely to issue a statement outlining its formal position on the ‌ceasefire ⁠and on Netanyahu’s assertion that Lebanon is not included, the three Lebanese sources said.

Hezbollah’s last public statement on its military activity was posted at 1am Tuesday, saying it had ​targeted Israeli troops ​inside Lebanon on ⁠Tuesday evening.

More than 1,500 people have been killed in Israel’s air and ground campaign across Lebanon, ​including 130 children and more than 100 women.

Israel’s ​strikes and ⁠orders for people to leave swathes of the south, east and Beirut’s southern suburbs have displaced more than 1.2 million people.

Lebanon’s army ⁠on ​Wednesday urged displaced families to delay ​their return home, warning of ongoing Israeli attacks and the risks posed by unexploded ​ordnance.
