Children gesture from a vehicle as displaced people make their way to return to their homes after a 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel went into effect, near Tyre, Lebanon, April 17, 2026. | Photo Credit: Reuters U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday (April 17, 2026) the United States had “prohibited” Israel from bombing Lebanon following a ceasefire deal, adding that Washington would work with Lebanon to “deal with” Hezbollah. “Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!” Mr. Trump said on his Truth Social network, a day after announcing the 10-day truce. The ceasefire took effect on Friday, sending displaced residents streaming south towards their homes, even as the Lebanese Army warned of “a number of violations” in the area.
