Israel (IL) and Lebanon (LB) Implement Ceasefire Agreement

Israel (IL) and Lebanon (LB) have entered a ceasefire agreement, as announced by the U.S. State Department after negotiations held in Washington. The ceasefire requires the complete cessation of fire from Hezbollah and the evacuation of its operatives from South Litani Sector. Last month's initial agreement was not fully realized as hostilities continued. Further direct negotiations are planned to build confidence and address outstanding issues between the two sides, which is significant given the ongoing regional tensions.
