However, concerns about enforcing the ceasefire and Israel's insistence on the right to take military action in Lebanon remain. Despite the ongoing fighting, both sides are pushing for a resolution, with the Lebanese army expected to increase its presence in the ceasefire zone. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement on both sides since October 2023.
