The Israeli security cabinet has voted in favor of a ceasefire deal to end the fighting with militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon, an Israeli official confirmed on Tuesday.
The decision comes after days of intense conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which has resulted in casualties on both sides and raised concerns about a potential escalation of violence in the region.
The ceasefire deal is seen as a significant step towards de-escalating tensions and restoring calm along the Israel-Lebanon border. It is expected to bring an end to the hostilities that have plagued the region in recent weeks.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the ceasefire agreement, stating that it is in the best interest of both countries to avoid further bloodshed and work towards a peaceful resolution.
Hezbollah has not yet officially commented on the ceasefire deal, but sources indicate that the militant group is also willing to halt hostilities and engage in negotiations to prevent further conflict.
The United Nations and other international bodies have expressed support for the ceasefire and called on both parties to fully commit to upholding the agreement. They have emphasized the importance of dialogue and diplomacy in resolving conflicts and maintaining stability in the region.
As the ceasefire takes effect, efforts are underway to assess the damage caused by the recent fighting and provide assistance to affected communities. Humanitarian organizations are mobilizing resources to address the needs of civilians caught in the crossfire and ensure their safety and well-being.
The ceasefire deal marks a potential turning point in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, offering hope for a lasting peace and a return to normalcy for the people of Lebanon and Israel.
