Summary
Lebanon and Israel have agreed to implement a ceasefire following negotiations in Washington, according to a joint statement with the United States released by the State Department. The ceasefire is contingent on a complete cessation of fire from Hezbollah and the evacuation of all its operatives from the South Litani Sector. This follows a previous ceasefire agreement last month that failed to hold, as hostilities continued. The conflict began when Israel invaded Lebanon in March in response to Hezbollah firing across the border in support of unspecified parties.
