Israeli Security Cabinet approves truce with Lebanon: report

The Israeli Security Cabinet voted on Tuesday to approve a 60-day truce with the Hezbollah terror organization in Lebanon, CNN reported.
All Israel Defense Forces soldiers are expected to withdraw from Southern Lebanon over a 60-day “transition period,” while the country’s official Lebanese Armed Forces is deployed to the border region, per the reported terms of an earlier draft agreement.
Iranian-backed Hezbollah has promised to relocate its “heavy weapons” north of the Litani River, located some 18 miles north of the border with Israel.
The deal reportedly includes an oversight committee, which the United States will lead, to monitor implementation and address violations.
Israel has pledged to limit its actions against Hezbollah violations to situations where the Lebanese army fails to neutralize the threat, and it will only do so after consulting with Washington.
The ceasefire will go into effect at 10 a.m. local time on Wednesday, per NBN, which is part of the Hezbollah-aligned Amal movement.
