After speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, US President Donald Trump announced the beginning of a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has been welcomed by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who expressed optimism that it will lay the groundwork for long-term stability in the Middle East.
As part of an earlier two-week ceasefire agreement between Tehran and the United States to pause the conflict in the Middle East, Iran's Foreign Ministry praised the ceasefire reached by Israel and Lebanon.
At midnight local time on Friday, gunfire broke out in the southern suburbs of Beirut as a ceasefire with Israel came into effect.
The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health estimates that since March 2, Israeli forces have killed at least 2,196 civilians and injured another 7,185.
The Lebanese government urges people not return back to their homes in southern Lebanon, despite Israel and Lebanon have reached a 10-day ceasefire.
The United States is "very close" to a deal with Iran, President Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House.
We always remember the brave heart Barun Biswas, a school teacher was murdered by the gangsters for his crusade against those rapists who raped hundreds of women at Sutia in North 24-Pargana district, around 80 km from kolkata in Eastern India during 2002-2003. On July 5 2012, Barun was shot dead when he was entering Gobordanga railway station which is 8 km away from Sutia with full public view. No body dared to help him out of fear. His protest under the banner of Sutia Protibadi Mancha against the Sutia gang rape and rehabilitation for the rape victims earned him kudos from all quarters.
