The halt to Israeli attacks on Hezbollah announced earlier by US President Donald Trump applies to the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said.
"Under the proposed arrangement, Israeli strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs would cease in exchange for Hezbollah refraining from carrying out attacks against Israel," the Lebanese presidency said in a statement posted on X late Monday.
The ceasefire is intended to be expanded to cover all of Lebanon, it added.
The Iran-backed Hezbollah movement has agreed to the US proposal for a mutual halt to attacks with Israel, according to the presidency, which said Lebanese authorities had received confirmation of the group's acceptance.
Aoun said Trump had informed Lebanon's ambassador in Washington, Nada Hamadeh Moawad, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had also agreed to the proposal.
Talks between Israel and Lebanon scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday in Washington will discuss the latest developments, the statement said.
The southern suburbs of Beirut, particularly the Dahiyeh area, are a key Hezbollah stronghold.
After tensions between Israel and the Iran-backed group escalated sharply in recent days, Netanyahu renewed threats to strike targets in Dahiyeh.
Since a ceasefire was first agreed between the Lebanese and Israeli governments in mid-April, the Israeli military had largely suspended attacks in the southern suburbs, though hostilities elsewhere continued.
