Israel has imposed a last-minute curfew forbidding any Lebanese from crossing into the south of the country as a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah begins. The ceasefire agreement, published by Lebanon's cabinet, stipulates that the area south of the Litani River must remain free of Hezbollah weapons. Israel will withdraw its forces from Lebanon over a period of 60 days, while the Lebanese army takes control of the area to ensure Hezbollah does not rebuild there. The ceasefire will be monitored by an international panel led by the US, along with thousands of Lebanese troops and UN peacekeepers deployed around the border.
