**Israel and Hezbollah Agree to Ceasefire**
A ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah has been agreed. This brings a temporary end to fighting along their shared border.
The deal was announced by officials in Beirut and Tel Aviv, but details of how it will be implemented are still unclear.
Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said the agreement is “a victory for Lebanon and its people”. Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, described it as a “respite” rather than a solution to the underlying problems between them.
**A Temporary Fix**
The ceasefire was negotiated after intense fighting broke out earlier this week. Many lives were lost on both sides, with some buildings destroyed.
But experts warn that the agreement does not address the root causes of conflict in the region. Tensions remain high and another outbreak is possible.
Netanyahu said Israel would continue to work towards a long-term solution, but for now, the focus will be on “trying to keep things calm”.
