Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire: What You Need to Know

conflictIsraelHezbollahMiddle Eastceasefire

Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to a temporary ceasefire** which will pause the fighting in the north of Israel from Wednesday morning local time. Israel is still carrying out strikes on Lebanon before the ceasefire takes effect. The ceasefire appears to be holding in Lebanon, with people returning to their homes. Let's take a closer look at the agreement and its implementation.

Israel and Hezbollah Close to Ceasefire: What to Expect

conflictIsraelHezbollahMiddle Eastceasefire

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is recommending a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah**, following talks with U.S. special envoy Amos Hochstein and a security cabinet meeting. The deal aims to end the ongoing conflict, which escalated in October when Israel invaded southern Lebanon. Hezbollah's recent retaliation, firing about 250 rockets into Israel, heightened tensions. Netanyahu has highlighted three objectives behind the potential ceasefire, which he will present to his security cabinet for approval. This developing story offers hope for a resolution to the Israeli-Lebanese conflict.

Israel and Hezbollah Reportedly Close to Ceasefire Agreement

conflictIsraelHezbollahMiddle Eastceasefire

Negotiations between Israel and Hezbollah are in the final stages, with a potential 60-day ceasefire deal on the horizon. According to the proposed agreement, Israeli forces would withdraw from Lebanon, and Hezbollah would retreat north of the Litani River. However, concerns about enforcing the ceasefire and Israel's insistence on the right to take military action in Lebanon remain. Despite the ongoing fighting, both sides are pushing for a resolution, with the Lebanese army expected to increase its presence in the ceasefire zone. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement on both sides since October 2023.
