US president Joe Biden announces a ceasefire deal on Tuesday between Hezbollah and Israel. The truce will take effect at 4 am local time (0200 GMT) on Wednesday.
• Netanyahu’s office says Israel’s security cabinet has approved a ceasefire with Hezbollah. Israel's cabinet approved the Lebanon truce in 10-1 vote.
Biden said, “the cessation is designed to be a permanent one”. Just after his speech, heavy attacks occur in central Beirut, Lebanon, and subsequently Hezbollah launched a large barrage of rockets on Israeli territory.
The cross border attacks were going on for more than a year between Israel and Hezbollah, this escalated into full-blown war as Israel begain ground invasion of Southern Lebanon, which is a Hezbollah stronghold.
Ceasefire conditions:
• The agreement would end Hezbollah’s armed presence along the border south of the Litani River.
• The truce require Israeli forces to withdraw from southern Lebanon.
• The Lebanese army would then need to deploy in the region (which is a Hezbollah stronghold) within 60 days, according to reports.
Israeli president Netanyahu emphasized in his speech that Hezbollah is no longer the same group, “that launched a war against us”, saying Israeli forces set them back decades.
He said Israeli forces killed most of the group’s leadership and “destroyed their infrastructure”.
Netanyahu said earlier, defending the truce deal that, Israel has inflicted heavy damage on Hezbollah and could now focus its efforts on Hamas fighters in Gaza and his top security concern, Iran.
Hezbollah Israel war:
Israel dealt serious damage to Hezbollah leadership and pulled out major successful attack on its fighters with famous pager attack, bunker buster bombing to kill its top leadership.
Hezbollah on the other hand also hit Israel hard with more than a year attacks with high precision rockets, its fighter engaged in furious battles against invading Israeli army, and successfully defended the southern borders
Hezbollah also dealt some serious blows to Israel with famous attacks from its drone, one of which landed and killed Israeli top ranking military units soldiers just a few months ago.
In the end, both sides took serious damage with infrastructure and military casualties.
Thousands of Lebanese citizens were killed in the aerial bombardment carried out by Israel. The data shows at least 3,823 killed till now in Lebanon. While many casualties were also reported in Israel due to attacks carried out by Hezbollah.
No end to war on Gaza:
The Israeli war on Gaza which many term as “genocidal”, including South Africa, which took Israel to International court, on charges of Genocide in Gaza, is yet to see a ceasefire deal.
The cession between Hezbollah and Israel has come, but there are no signs of truce between Hamas and Israel as of now, instead Israel wants to continue its attacks on Gaza. Hezbollah, which said all throughout the year while attacking Israel, that “attacks will only stop if ceasefire is achieved in Gaza”, seems to have taken a backseat on its statements so far.
Joe Biden has also failed to deliver a truce between Hamas and Israel, as he is about to leave the office.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health says more than 44,970 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks and thousands more are buried under rubble and threatened by illness.
At least 44,179 people, including 17,492 children, has been killed since 7 October 2023, more than 104,473 people have been injured and more than 11,000 are reported missing in the besieged strip.
