The Trump administration has announced sanctions against seven commanders of Iraqi militias backed by Iran that have "planned and directed attacks against U.S. personnel, facilities, and interests in Iraq," according to the U.S. State Department.

"These individuals lead some of the most reprehensible Iran-backed terror groups in Iraq — Kata’ib Hizballah, Kata’ib Sayyid Al-Shuhada, Harakat Al-Nujaba, and Asa’ib Ahl Al-Haqq," according to the State Department. "These militias not only threaten American lives but also undermine Iraq’s sovereignty, exploit its resources to fund terrorism, and attack Iraq’s neighbors and innocent Iraqi civilians with impunity."

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said his country is no longer a "pawn" or a "battleground" after the ceasefire with Israel went into effect.

In his first speech since the 10-day truce was announced, Aoun also thanked President Donald Trump and called the negotiations "a decision born from the strength of our belief in our rights," rather than a "sign of weakness."

Aoun added, "here will be no agreement that infringes upon our national rights" and "our goal is clear and declared: to stop the Israeli aggression against our land and our people."

As thousands of evacuees headed back to the south of Lebanon after news broke of the ceasefire, Aoun told the displaced, "You will return to your homes, for they will flourish with your presence. We are with you and by your side, and we will not abandon you."

One person was killed and two wounded in an Israeli strike on a motorcycle in southern Lebanon Friday afternoon, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.

This is the first death announced in Lebanon since the ceasefire began. The Lebanese National News Agency -- the government's official news agency -- has reported numerous instances of Israeli artillery fire in Southern Lebanon as well.

ABC News has asked the Israeli military for comment.

Iran's paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced Friday "a new order" for the Strait of Hormuz, allowing civilian ships to pass through a designated route while banning military vessels and requiring IRGC permission for all passage, according to Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency.

In a post on his social media platform, President Donald Trump said the leaders of Israel and Lebanon would be speaking on Thursday, following high-level talks between Israeli and Lebanese diplomats mediated by the U.S. earlier this week. 

"Trying to get a little breathing room between Israel and Lebanon," Trump said in the post. "It has been a long time since the two leaders have spoken, like 34 years. It will happen tomorrow. Nice!"

The White House did not immediately respond to questions about who would be speaking from the Israeli and Lebanese sides.

Trump's announcement of additional talks between the two countries came after the State Department convened a trilateral meeting in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors.

The State Department on Tuesday called this week's talks "the first major high-level engagement between the governments of Israel and Lebanon since 1993."
