Dec ‌13 (Reuters) - Israel put a planned strike on a village ‍in southern ‌Lebanon on hold on Saturday after the Lebanese army requested ⁠access to the site ‌to "address a breach" of a ceasefire agreement, an Israeli military spokesperson said.

Earlier in the day, Israel had issued an evacuation warning for ⁠the village of Yanouh ahead of what it said was a planned ​strike against infrastructure of the Hezbollah militant ‌group.

"After the warning was issued, ⁠the Lebanese Army ... requested permission to access the specified site again, which had been declared in violation, in order ​to address the breach of the agreement," the Israeli military's Arabic-language spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, said on X.

"The Israel Defense Forces decided to allow this, and accordingly the airstrike was ​temporarily ‍frozen."

Israel and Lebanon ​agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in 2024, ending more than a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah that had culminated in Israeli strikes that severely weakened the Iran-backed militant group. Since then, the sides have traded accusations over violations.

On ⁠Tuesday, Israel hit what it described as Hezbollah infrastructure in several areas of southern Lebanon.

Israel ​and Lebanon have both sent civilian envoys to a military committee monitoring their ceasefire, a step towards meeting a months-old U.S. demand that they broaden talks ‌in line with President Donald Trump's Middle East peace agenda.
