No. There has been no official confirmation that the long-running tensions between Israel and Lebanon have been resolved. Although diplomatic efforts and ceasefire discussions have continued with international mediation, the security situation along the Israel-Lebanon border remains fragile.

Both Israel and Lebanon continue to maintain a heightened military presence near the border, while international observers have repeatedly warned that isolated incidents could quickly escalate. At present, no announced agreement permanently settles the conflict or fully restores stability in the region.
