A U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah is set to begin on Wednesday, marking a 60-day pause after over a year of conflict.

While the deal's text remains unpublished, Israel's security cabinet and the Lebanese government, alongside Hezbollah, have shown their support.

U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein crafted the five-page document, which outlines key measures, including a halt to all military operations and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon within 60 days.

Additionally, Hezbollah will retreat north of the Litani River, as the Lebanese army takes positions south of it with approximately 5,000 troops.

A beefed-up monitoring mechanism involving the U.S. and France will oversee compliance, with Israel retaining the right to unilaterally strike Hezbollah if deemed necessary for its security.

Over 1.2 million displaced from southern Lebanon and tens of thousands from northern Israel are anticipated to return home.

Despite the truce's promise, tensions linger over Israeli operations and monitoring actions, highlighting challenges to full peace implementation.
