Enforcement includes exclusive Lebanese Armed Forces control in certain areas. Previous ceasefire attempts proved ineffective amid continued violence. Direct negotiations will resume, targeting a broader accord to resolve longstanding issues.

In a significant development, Lebanon and Israel have agreed to implement a ceasefire after negotiations in Washington aimed at quelling the ongoing conflict linked to the war in Iran.

The ceasefire is contingent on the complete withdrawal of Hezbollah operatives from the South Litani Sector, with new pilot zones established for the Lebanese Armed Forces to exercise exclusive control.

Despite a previous cessation of hostilities, violence persisted, most recently with Israeli drone strikes in southern Lebanon. The two nations plan direct negotiations later this month to work toward a comprehensive agreement.
