2024 Israel–Lebanon ceasefire agreement

[5] A five-country monitoring panel, led by the United States, will oversee the implementation, with 5,000 Lebanese troops deployed to ensure compliance.

[12] France was added as a mediator to the deal after it walked back on its statement that it would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes.

[17] The Lebanese army is weakened by economic crisis and insufficient resources and there are concerns over potential failure to enforce the terms of the ceasefire.

[6] As of 3 December 2024[update], Israel has allegedly violated the ceasefire 52 times, killing at least 15 people, including a Lebanese Army officer and several civilians.

[33] On 1 October, the Israeli military began a full-scale invasion of southern Lebanon[34] although it had been conducting limited ground operations for some time.

Israeli operations led to the significant dismantling of Hezbollah's military infrastructure in southern Lebanon and the destruction of a large portion of its missile stockpile.

[39] On 5 January 2024, then Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah called for negotiations on the demarcation of the border between Lebanon and Israel (also concerning the disputed Shebaa Farms territory).

[41][better source needed] In June 2024, US envoy Amos Hochstein travelled to Lebanon to meet Lebanese Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri.

[44] Hezbollah leader Nasrallah expressed his agreement with this ceasefire proposal to the Lebanese Foreign Minister, but this was not communicated to the US State Department.

[12] France was added as a mediator to the deal after it walked back on its statement that it would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes.

[47] The cabinet voted 10–1 in favor of approving the deal, with the sole opponent being National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The IDF also said that Hezbollah members attempted to reach no-go zones near the Israel-Lebanon border in violation of the ceasefire agreement.

[62] On December 1, the IDF identified Hezbollah operatives who it claimed fired at them from a church in South Lebanon, and killed several.

[22] On 28 November, Lebanon accused Israel of violating the ceasefire with airstrikes and shelling on several villages, resulting in two injuries from tank fire.

[63] Additionally, Israeli forces injured civilians in Al-Taybeh and Marjeyouan, demolished homes in southern Lebanon, and moved into areas that it previously hadn't reached.

[64] Hassan Fadlallah, a member of the Lebanese Parliament, claimed that Israel targeted civilians seeking to return home.

He stated that the Israeli army had achieved many of its goals in the invasion and airstrikes by killing most of Hezbollah's leadership and destroying large numbers of Lebanese infrastructure linked to them.

[47] Former Israeli consul-general and ambassador Alon Pinkas deemed the deal "unenforceable" due to it assuming that the Lebanese army will supervise weapon production and distribution.

[6][3] On the Israeli side, the prolonged displacement of civilians near the border and the strain on the military continue to drive the need for a solution.

[6] Writing for the Neo-conservative Institute for the Study of War, Brian Carter argued that the ceasefire agreement represented a significant military victory for Israel.

While arguing that the war and the resulting agreement had significantly shifted the strategic situation in Israel's favor, he also stated that Hezbollah would almost certainly attempt to rebuild its strength.
