Ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hezbollah

·

A ceasefire deal has been reached between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, with the United States and France acting as a broker.

The agreement, set to take effect at 4 am local time on Wednesday, November 27 (2 am GMT, midday AEST), seeks to bring an end to the ongoing missile and rocket exchanges along the Israeli-Lebanese border.

Under the terms of the agreement, Israel will withdraw its troops from southern Lebanon over the next 60 days, while the Lebanese army will be deployed in the region to maintain stability. Hezbollah has committed to ending its armed presence south of the Litani River and will not rebuild infrastructure in that area.

The deal also ensures Israel‘s right to self-defence in the event that Hezbollah violates the terms of the ceasefire. According to US officials, this provision underscores the need for vigilance to maintain peace.

The ceasefire is expected to allow tens of thousands of displaced individuals to return to their homes in southern Lebanon and northern Israel, marking a significant step toward restoring stability and normalcy in the region.
