A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon has come into effect, ending almost 14 months of fighting. The agreement includes a 60-day transition period for the withdrawal of IDF forces from southern Lebanon and the deployment of Lebanese Army troops. Hezbollah forces will leave southern Lebanon and its military infrastructure will be dismantled. The US has provided a side letter specifying Israel's rights to respond to ceasefire violations. While Hezbollah has accepted the ceasefire proposal, it has yet to see the final agreement. The ceasefire appeared to hold early Wednesday morning, with signs of celebration in Beirut.
