A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect on Wednesday, offering hope for peace after more than a year of conflict. Brokered by the U.S. and France, the deal aims to end violence that escalated after the Gaza war, though its lasting success remains uncertain.
The two-month ceasefire agreement requires Hezbollah to pull back from southern Lebanon, while Israeli forces are to retreat to their side of the border. An international panel, led by the United States, will oversee the implementation of the truce, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning that any violations by Hezbollah would be met with force.

Similarly, in Israel, the mood is one of guarded hope, with some citizens optimistic about the possibility of peace, but others worried about the fragile nature of the agreement.
As both nations brace for what lies ahead, this ceasefire provides a fragile moment of respite in a conflict that has already claimed thousands of lives. Whether this agreement will bring lasting peace or only a temporary break in the violence is still to be seen.
