STORY: Lebanon on Monday announced a partial ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, marking a limited de-escalation.

Lebanon's embassy in Washington said the deal would not end the conflict in that country.

Instead, it calls for Israel to halt strikes on Beirut and Hezbollah-controlled suburbs, while the Iran-aligned group halts its attacks on Israel.

But hostilities continued into Monday evening.

Israel said on Tuesday that it intercepted two projectiles fired into northern Israel.

President Donald Trump said on Monday that Hezbollah, communicating through intermediaries, has pledged not to attack Israel.

No U.S. president has ever spoken to the Washington-designated terrorist organization, with or without intermediaries.

Trump also said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to pull back any troops preparing to attack Beirut.

However, Netanyahu said Israeli operations in southern Lebanon would continue, with forces pushing deeper into the region.

A Hezbollah lawmaker said the group would support a full ceasefire, but only if Israel withdraws its troops.

Lebanon said it would push to expand the agreement during talks in Washington on Wednesday, as diplomats try to revive broader efforts to end the three-month war, which remains closely tied to tensions between Washington and Tehran.

The Israel-Hezbollah war erupted on March 2 as an offshoot of the broader conflict and has been entangled with it ever since.

Iran has insisted on a halt to Israeli attacks in Lebanon as a condition of any deal to end the war, while the U.S. has said the two conflicts are separate.

Oil prices broadly held steady early Tuesday, after sharp gains the day before amid uncertainty over the ceasefire.
