Israel Orders Military to Scale Back Operations in Lebanon Amid Ongoing Tensions

Israel issued a new directive to its armed forces concerning operations in Lebanon. The order calls for the military to limit its actions across the border. The move follows deadly clashes that erupted on Friday. Violence continued into Saturday, adding to regional instability. Officials said the directive aims to reduce friction between the sides. However, analysts noted uncertainty about its effectiveness. The clashes threatened to jeopardize a preliminary U.S.-Iran peace agreement. Observers will watch for any further escalation or diplomatic response.
