Al Jazeera
A ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel is one step closer, but what are the details and will it hold?
Beirut, Lebanon – Israel’s Prime Minister has announced that his security cabinet approved a ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah, through the Lebanese government.
Once it is in force, the agreement stands to end more than a year of violence that began when Hezbollah began launching strikes at Israel on October 8, 2023, saying it would continue as long as Israel conducted its war on the people of Gaza.
Since October 2023, Israel has uprooted 1.2 million people in Lebanon and killed 3,768, most of them killed in the past two months.
Hezbollah – and its Lebanese rivals and allies – support an end to the war, but what are the terms of the ceasefire, where is it at right now, and will it hold?
