Ceasefire officially begins in Lebanon

Reuters reported that the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon came into effect on Wednesday, November 27. The agreement, brokered by the United States and France, aims to bring an end to hostilities permanently.

Following the implementation of the ceasefire, Reuters noted that a large movement of vehicles towards southern Lebanon began.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Lebanese army will regain control of its territory within the next 60 days.

The agreement also calls for the gradual withdrawal of the Israeli army from Lebanon, and the return of war refugees to their homes along the Israeli-Lebanese border.

Just before the ceasefire was set to take effect, regional media reported Israeli airstrikes on the cities of Aita al-Shab, Qozh, and Hanin in southern Lebanon, as well as Baalbek in the eastern part of the country.

Earlier, the Israeli cabinet approved the ceasefire agreement, clearing the way for its implementation.

While the ceasefire marks a significant step toward de-escalation, the long-term success of the agreement will depend on the full implementation of its terms, including the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the safe return of refugees.

The role of international mediators like the U.S. and France will be crucial in ensuring that both parties adhere to the agreement and that the fragile peace holds. Continuous diplomatic support will be necessary to prevent further flare-ups of violence.
