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.
In a rare diplomatic move, Hezbollah did not engage directly in the ceasefire talks, with Lebanese parliamentary speaker Nabih Berri acting as an intermediary.
Reactions to the ceasefire in Beirut have been mixed, with many residents expressing cautious optimism, while others remain doubtful about the deal's durability. 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.
