Amid reports of significant progress towards signing a ceasefire in the north, Iranian sources report that rescue, aid, and evacuation missions are already being prepared to arrive immediately in southern Lebanon and the Dahieh neighborhood to assist in evacuation and damage recovery.
According to the report by journalist and Middle East expert Yoni Ben Menachem, there is concern in Israel about the reports of Iranian delegations expected to arrive in Lebanon, as it is believed in Israel that the Iranians will use this to smuggle weapons and ammunition to Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, according to a report in the 'New York Times,' a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel seems imminent, after Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, approved the emerging agreement. According to the report, sources in the Revolutionary Guards said that the agreement has already been reached and Hezbollah has agreed to the ceasefire after receiving the "green light" from Khamenei.
