Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire Amidst Strikes

Israel>>> and Lebanon>>> have agreed to a ceasefire deal, brokered by the United States>>> in Washington, contingent on Hezbollah>>> halting its attacks and evacuating operatives from the area between the border and the Litani River. Despite this agreement, Israel>>>'s Defence Minister Israel Katz>>> stated that Israel>>> would continue to strike Lebanon>>> and maintain a 'security zone' in the south, including Beaufort castle, without the return of the displaced population. This stance has led to continued Israel>>>i attacks in southern Lebanon>>>. Lebanon>>>'s President Joseph Aoun>>> and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam>>> have been seeking Hezbollah>>>'s disarmament, fueling internal tensions, as Hezbollah>>> has not yet commented on the agreement and demanded Beirut quit the Washington talks. Israel>>>'s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir>>> criticized the ceasefire as a 'serious mistake'. The conflict has displaced 1.2 million people from their homes in southern Lebanon>>>. The agreement also includes the creation of 'pilot zones' for the Sudanese Armed Forces>>> to control, excluding non-state actors. A U.N. peacekeeper from United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon>>> died from mortar shells in southeastern Lebanon>>>.
