West Asia Tensions: Ceasefire In Place Between Israel And Lebanon

The ceasefire announced Tuesday is considered a major step toward ending nearly 14 months of fighting sparked by the ongoing war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. The ceasefire calls for an initial two-month halt to fighting. In a bid to monitor compliance, thousands of additional Lebanese troops and UN peacekeepers would be deployed.
