Israel and Lebanon Agree to Ceasefire with Conditions on Hezbollah Activity
Israel and Lebanon have agreed to implement a ceasefire contingent on a complete cessation of fire by Hezbollah and the withdrawal of its operatives from southern Lebanon's South Litani Sector. The agreement, reached after US-mediated talks in Washington, includes establishing pilot security zones controlled exclusively by the Lebanese Armed Forces, excluding non-state actors. Both sides plan to reconvene in late June to pursue a comprehensive peace and security agreement amid ongoing regional tensions involving Iran and Hezbollah.
