Israel is said to be edging closer to a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to reports. An agreement could see an end to fighting that has seen more than 3,500 Lebanese killed and more than 15,000 injured in over a year. Any potential agreement would also reportedly allow hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the border to gradually return home. Reports claimed that the draft agreement included a 60-day transition period that would see the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) withdraw from southern Lebanon. It would also reportedly see Hezbollah move its heavy weapons north of the Litani River as the Lebanese army would deploy in areas close to the border.
