The truce began at 4:00 am after more than a year of hostilities, in which thousands of people were killed.
Under the ceasefire agreement, hostilities are suspended for 60 days. During this time Israel withdraw his troops from southern Lebanon and Hezbollah fighters will return to the north of the Litani River, which is about 30 kilometers north of the border between Israel and Lebanon.
The Lebanese army will be deployed in the border area. The implementation of the agreement will be monitored by a group of countries led by the United States, which will also include France, Lebanon and Israel, as well as the UN peacekeeping mission (UNIFIL).
Shortly after the ceasefire began, the Israeli army warned the residents of South Lebanon not to approach IDF positions and villages that the forces were ordered to leave.
The war began when Hezbollah launched cross-border attacks on Israel in support of its ally Hamas following the October 7, 2023 attack in southern Israel. During the war, Israel carried out airstrikes in various areas of Lebanon and brought its troops into southern Lebanon to fight Hezbollah terrorists.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that under the terms of the truce, Israel would maintain “full force” against Hezbollah if the Iran-backed group posed a new threat.
Lebanon has announced that, since October 2023, 3,823 people have been killed on its territory. On the other hand, on the Israeli side, at least 82 soldiers and 47 civilians were killed in the war against “Hezbollah”.
A few hours before the ceasefire began, Israel carried out airstrikes in central Beirut and southern suburbs, and Hezbollah announced attacks in northern Israel.
