Israel and Lebanon have extended their ceasefire through Feb. 18, according to the White House.

The ceasefire agreement was reached in November 2024 and was set to expire Sunday.

Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati confirmed the extension, which the White House says it "monitored." 

As of Monday morning, Israel had yet to appear to have confirmed the extension.

Israel had kept troops deployed in Lebanon beyond the initial deadline, accusing the Lebanese government of not fully implementing its part of the deal, which required the removal of Hezbollah from the area.

On Sunday, the Lebanese health ministry said Israeli soldiers killed 22 people and wounded 124 others who were trying to return to their homes in the country's south.

The White House also announced on the social media platform, X, that the Lebanon, Israel and U.S. governments would start negotiations for the return of Lebanese prisoners captured after Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel.
