**Middle East Crisis Update: Israel and Hezbollah to Respond to Ceasefire Proposal Soon, Says US** A ceasefire proposal from France and the United States is anticipated to receive responses from both Israel and Hezbollah in the coming hours. This development follows statements from Israel's top military official, who indicated that the country is preparing for a potential ground operation in Lebanon. Reports indicate that rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel this morning. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), several rockets targeted troops stationed within Gaza, although there were no injuries reported, and none of the rockets crossed into Israeli territory. In a political response, Israel's opposition leader has urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to accept the US-French ceasefire proposal, albeit for a limited duration of seven days. The opposition leader emphasized that any agreement should not allow Hezbollah to reestablish its command and control capabilities along Israel's northern border. He stated that the ceasefire should facilitate the safe return of residents to northern Israel and should also lead to renewed negotiations regarding the issue of kidnappings. He warned that any violation of the ceasefire, no matter how minor, would prompt Israel to respond with full military force across Lebanon.
