Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer, says Trump

Israel will not be carrying out airstrikes in Lebanon any longer, US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Friday, announcing what he described as a new restriction imposed by Washington amid ongoing tensions in West Asia.

In the post, Trump said Israel had been “prohibited” from bombing Lebanon, adding that “enough is enough” and indicating that the decision was part of broader US efforts to stabilise the region.

He also said the United States would retain all nuclear “dust” generated by B-2 bomber operations, asserting that no financial transaction would be involved. Trump added that the matter was not linked to Lebanon, while noting that Washington would separately engage with Beirut to address the Hezbollah situation “in an appropriate manner.”

The US President’s remarks come against the backdrop of continued hostilities involving Israel and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group based in Lebanon, despite multiple ceasefire attempts in recent months.

There was no immediate response from Israeli or Lebanese authorities on the statement.
