Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Holds Amid Return of Displaced Lebanese
TL;DR
A US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hizbollah is holding, allowing hopes for the return of over 1 million displaced Lebanese civilians. The ceasefire, described by US President Joe Biden as a permanent cessation of hostilities, involves the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon, to be replaced by the Lebanese army. The agreement requires Hizbollah to refrain from rebuilding its infrastructure in southern Lebanon and moving its fighters north of the Litani river. Despite the ceasefire, tensions remain as both Israeli and Lebanese forces urge caution due to potential violations and unexploded ordnance.
