Israel and Lebanon Agree to Ceasefire Amid Ongoing Tensions with Hezbollah
Israel and Lebanon have reached an agreement to implement a ceasefire, facilitated by the United States, following negotiations in Washington. The ceasefire requires Hezbollah, an Iran-aligned militia, to cease fire and evacuate its operatives from the South Litani Sector. This agreement follows a previous ceasefire attempt that failed to halt hostilities. The conflict escalated when Israel invaded Lebanon in March in response to Hezbollah's cross-border attacks. Iran has stated that it will not agree to a resolution unless the ceasefire also includes Lebanon. The agreement aims to reduce tensions and pave the way for further negotiations to address unresolved issues.
