YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA cease-fire between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah started early Wednesday, after the sides reached a deal following weeks of US-mediated talks.
The development is a first step toward ending a conflict that’s killed thousands of people and forced more than a million to flee their homes. The US hopes it calms the Middle East and paves the way toward fresh peace initiatives for the Gaza Strip, where conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to rage.
The 60-day truce began at 4 a.m. local time and there were no reports of early violations. There were some celebrations in Beirut, Lebanon’s heavily-bombed capital, and many civilians left for the south of the country, the epicenter of a conflict that began around 14 months ago and escalated in September when Israel stepped up attacks on Hezbollah.
