On the 20th local time, the Israel Defense Forces said it had received political-level instructions to implement a ceasefire but would continue operations inside a southern Lebanon "security zone", focusing on a large Hezbollah tunnel complex sheltering dozens of fighters. The IDF said it has stopped firing elsewhere in Lebanon and will keep destroying Hezbollah military infrastructure within the "security zone" and strike "urgent threats" outside it.
