The halt in hostilities is understood to have come into effect at 4 p.m., local time.
The U.S. and Iran peace talks, set to start anew in Switzerland Friday after the memorandum of understanding was signed earlier in the week, were abruptly postponed amid the flare-up of violence.
“The logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable, we look forward to beginning technical talks as soon as possible,” a spokesperson said.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the intensified fighting as a “dangerous escalation.”
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had struck “80 command centers, terrorists, launch positions, and additional terrorist infrastructure” across southern Lebanon in response to what it described as “Hezbollah's repeated and blatant violations” of the initial cease-fire that came into effect in April but has had little effect.
But Israel was not a party to the negotiations, and Netanyahu earlier this week ruled out any immediate withdrawal of troops from Lebanon.
Esmaeil Baghaei, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, on Friday said the United States bears responsibility for the Israeli strikes in Lebanon, citing the first clause of the memorandum.
Tehran will “take all necessary measures to protect its interests, security, and rights and those of its allies,” he said.
