A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon came into effect at 4:00 a.m. local time on November 27, bringing an end to almost 14 months of fighting which began the day after the war broke out in the Gaza Strip.
The ceasefire was announced late on November 26 by United States President Joe Biden, who said that the agreement was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities” between Israel and Lebanon.
The agreement will reportedly provide for a 60-day transition period. During this period, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon, while the Lebanese Armed Forces will deploy some 5,000 troops south of the Litani river, including at 33 posts along the border with Israel.
Hezbollah forces are supposed to withdraw from southern Lebanon during the period. The military infrastructure of the group is also supposed to be dismantled.
In addition, Hebrew media reported that the U.S. had provided a side letter specifying Israel’s rights to respond to violations of the ceasefire, should there be any.
Israel’s national security cabinet officially approved the ceasefire agreement by a majority of ten ministers to one before it was announced by Biden.
Hezbollah also announced that it accepts the ceasefire proposal. However, a senior official with the group said that it had yet to see the agreement in its final form.
“After reviewing the agreement signed by the enemy government, we will see if there is a match between what we stated and what was agreed upon by the Lebanese officials,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy chair of Hezbollah’s political council, told the Al Jazeera news network.
“We want an end to the aggression, of course, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of the state.” of Lebanon, he said. “Any violation of sovereignty is refused,” he added.
The IDF and Hezbollah exchange fire in the final hours leading to the ceasefire, with more than 20 Israeli strikes hitting the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, and multiple heavy rockets being launched from Lebanon at the central Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
As the ceasefire entered into effect, celebrations were reported in Beirut. However, Colonel Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, warned Lebanese civilians to not yet return to southern Lebanon where Israeli troops were still present.
“With the ceasefire agreement coming into effect, and in accordance with its provisions, the IDF continues to be prepared in its positions in southern Lebanon,” Adraee said. “Do not move towards the villages that the IDF evacuated or towards IDF forces in the area. For your protection and the safety of your families, avoid reaching the area.”
Despite the Israeli warning, streams of cars carrying displaced people were observed on several roads heading to southern Lebanon.
The conflict, which broke out when Hezbollah began launching attacks against Israel in support of Gaza, claimed the lives of 3,823 in Lebanon and at least 119 others in Israel. While the U.S.-brokered ceasefire has ended the fighting, the conflict is not yet resolved. Israel has already warned that it would respond to any violation by Hezbollah.
Speaking just before the ceasefire was announced, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the IDF “will attack” Lebanon if Hezbollah tries to rebuild “the terror infrastructure” near the border, fires a rocket, digs a tunnel, or brings in “a truck with missiles.”

so , hesbolla made israel come to an agreement.. interesting… smells like a resistance victory , as long as they don’t forget about #gaza
no- hezbollah begged for a ceasefire… have you scene beirut??? it will take another 20-40 years to rebuild.
mean the useless arabs have not even destroyed 2 buildings in israel that stand next to each other yet alone a whole street, a whole neighbourhood or a whole city.
6 million jews dominate 1.6 billion myslims because muslims are cowards… they cannot go against a jew even though the ratio is 250 arabs per jew.
6 gorillion have sucked america dry. most muslims want to live in peace. most jews cannot live in peace.
israel has banned image of huge destruction in israel
it’s more a zionist victory than hezbollah, he destroyed beirut and southern lebanon, decimated his command, killed nasrallah, if it’s not a zionist victory then take his meds
sadly its true. hezbollah and hamas are fighting with spud guns whilst israel is fighting with missiles.
arabs dont stand a chance. they are simple. they have the brains of a monkey and have zero capacity to comprehend combined arms which is modern warfare.
all arabs can do is launch fire and hope missiles and do small ambushes….
after 400+ days hamas has not even destroyed 200 tanks yet israel has levelled 250,000 high rise buildings and morons here think the idf is losing?????
there are many types of winning and losing. heavy concealed military casualties, hundreds of tanks knocked out. no military objectives achieved. no even minor tactical successes. no hostages obtained. fought to a standstill. economy contracted by 20%. 60,000 businesses bankrupt. ports bankrupt. zero foreign investment. $25 billion investment pulled by intel. tourism is toast. shekel and zio bonds are toilet paper. one million shlomos have fled, taking all their shekels with them.
just for starters. north and south of country cleansed of settlers. nutteryahoo a wanted fugitive. talmudistan falling apart on the verge of civil war. shlomo’s vulnerability and criminality exposed for all the world to see. utterly dependent on uncle sugar to survive, or even defend it against missile attack, a millstone around the neck of its western accomplices, the cost of supporting it growing ever higher.
you fail to comprehend that israel does not rely on money. it cannot go bankrupt.
have you forgotten that the pentagon has been audited twice and twice they could not find 2 trillion dollars. thats 4 trillion in total.
israel is the pentagon.
they want people to believe usa has given israel 200 billion since 1948…. try multiplying it by 10.
israel is fine and barely damaged
the 60,000 bankrupt businesses, closed ports etc etc is all for show. they can literally return overnight.
gaza is finished… it will never be rebuilt. the palestininas will be forced to move elsewhere, aybe to jordan which is basically palestinians anyway.
there has to be an israeli state. and there will never be a 2 state solution and 100% never a 1 state solution because the goal of the world is to have a jewish nation
if hezbollah actually do any disarming, they must be indians. or idiots. palestine are occupied by foreign people, sadistic germans and khazars. their leaders have a arrest warrant on them from icc for genocide. when will the hanging be ? i cant wait !
are you sure there are germans, in my history classes i remember the germans didn’t like them much.
something stinks to high heaven here , and there’s still no iranian retaliation. too many hook noses on the ground in lebanon. predict houthis should up the ante now. keep the pot simmering and inbreds stewing.
muslims are pathetic… same with most arabs.
israel literally slaughters 100,000 plus pepole and their militaries and allies do nothing.
israel is untouchable… and sadly, when the ceasefire ends in early 2025 israel will blow the living shit out out gaza, lebanon and syria.
truth is, arabs/muslims are such gutless non-masculine people that they deserve what they accept.
sadly- as always, 6 million jews are more powerful than 1.6 billion muslims… thas 1 jew per 250 arabs.
lol. are christians more courageous? if yes, show me one christian country that fought israel, although they control their economy and politics.
what??? why would christians fight jews?? tehy have the foundations of the same religion… and islam???? islam is a nonsense written by jews to keep brain dead arabs fighting and warring amongst themselves for 2000 years…. 1400 years later they are still too busy killing each other to worry about israel.
anyone whos read the qura know its a joke
people only convert to islam because the men want to fck babies and children and the women have no say in it.
yea, islam wants to live in peace- in peace to abuse each other.
shlomo realises there is a target painted on his back wherever he goes. he will never sleep soundly in his bed again.
champ, substitute ‘israel’ with ‘joo-sa’ and ‘6 million jews’ (that magic number again) with ‘trump/trumptard/demojoo/pedo psychopaths’ and one can see why a lot of arab leaders want to keep their people intact by laying low. the reality of being nuked is right in front of their faces.
unbelievable that despite the cowardly pager attack that maimed thousands of hezbollah fighters, and the october carpet bombing that eliminated most of its leadership, hezbollah was still able to fight off a much larger army with massive air support and prevent them from occupying more than 1% of lebanon. hezbollah are beyond brave. they are warriors.
not to mention 500,000 idf troops after a whole year still can’t clear out gaza, destroy all tunnels and wipe out hamas. hamas still combat effective, idf withdrawn from most areas except for rafa, east gaza city, some parts of khan younis. if it wasn’t for their heavily armored merkavas and namers, they’d have 50 times the casualties. thanks to usa taxpayers for that
the bitchsteins got bitchslapped. they have to now pull out of lebanon. this was a worse showing than 2006 against hezbollah. they got bitchslapped by a dead nasrallah
all shlomo can do is murder little kiddies. he couldn’t get more than a mile inside lebanon. every day is a shlomo hunt in gaza. the red sea is a shlomo free zone.
this won’t last long. it will be broken repeatedly by shlomo and hezb. will respond in kind.
hundreds of thousands in each usa state rush to gay bars to taliban astrologers and gay m,ulatto pimps pay many zelensky salesmen for personally signed designer dildos
no it’s rabbi boteach (rfk’s aipac minder) who’s the dildo and butt plug salesman for the family business. discount for bulk orders.
hezbollah has not been defeated. hamas has not been defeated. the houthis have not been defeated. they cannot be defeated. nutteryahoo has achieved nothing. the tik tok army has achieved nothing. the cost to shlomo and his western accomplices is enormous, and grows ever higher by the day. 14 months and they (shlomo and his goy backers) cannot even destroy hamas in the postage stamp sized gaza strip. the fallout from this is incalculable, and will go on for years.
hamas/ hezb./ houthis will continue to govern gaza/ lebanon/ yemen. nutteryahoo will be toppled from power. so will the quisling arab dictators in egypt, jordan and elsewhere. shlomo will continue to be a millstone around the neck of the us and its lackeys. iran will acquire nuclear weapons. in a rock solid alliance with russia/ china/ dprk. the resistance will grow stronger as the us and eu falls apart.
and who profits the most ? not benny and the yettas not lebanon not iran or palestine .who ? join the dots .
