CNN —The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah is a major diplomatic breakthrough that follows 13 months of escalating conflict, upheaval and displacement in Lebanon.
In that time, troops from both sides will retreat from southern Lebanon, while the Lebanese military and families who fled in recent months will move in.
Israel’s forces must retreat beyond the so-called Blue Line, a “line of withdrawal” established by the UN in 2000 following 18 years of Israeli military occupation in southern Lebanon.
Israeli aerial attacks have focused on the southern border regions of Lebanon, but have hit targets in the center and the north as well.
