Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire begins in Lebanon
An Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire was largely holding Wednesday in Lebanon, potentially bringing an end to more than a year of cross-border strikes and months of a full-scale war that has killed thousands.
The deal stipulates a 60-day halt in hostilities, which negotiators have described as the foundation of a lasting truce. In that time, Hezbollah fighters are expected to retreat 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Israel border, while Israeli ground forces should withdraw from Lebanese territory, CNN reports.
Meanwhile, Hamas said it is committed to cooperating with “any efforts” to achieve a truce in Gaza. According to a senior US official, the Biden administration believes that the deal has the potential to be a “game changer” and revive Israeli negotiations with Hamas.
