COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ) -- President Donald Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform Thursday that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a ceasefire.

Trump wrote that the ceasefire will take effect at 4 p.m. Thursday, following the countries' agreement reached during talks in Washington, D.C. Trump stated that he has directed a group, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Dan Caine, to work with the countries on a peace deal during the ceasefire.

Israel has traded attacks with militant group Hezbollah since March after Hezbollah launched rockets in retaliation for Israeli and American strikes on Iran. The militant group has been in conflict with Israel for decades.
