Israel and Hezbollah Agree to U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire in Lebanon

The 60-day truce, set to begin Wednesday, includes Israeli troop withdrawal and Hezbollah’s retreat north of the Litani River, with oversight by a U.S.-led committee.

• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his security cabinet's approval of a U.S.-mediated ceasefire with Hezbollah after 14 months of conflict and two months of intensified fighting in Lebanon.
• The agreement outlines a 60-day implementation period during which Israeli forces will withdraw from southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah will move heavy weapons north of the Litani River.
• A U.S.-led oversight committee will monitor compliance, with provisions allowing Israel to act against imminent threats if Lebanese forces fail to intervene.
• The ceasefire aims to allow Israel to redirect military focus to Gaza and replenish its depleted arms supplies, though critics within Israel warn of Hezbollah’s potential resurgence.
• Intense fighting continued in Beirut and southern Lebanon ahead of the truce, with Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah strongholds and infrastructure, resulting in significant casualties.
