Key events

26 – 27 Nov 2024

The Israel–Lebanon cessation of hostilities and its Mechanism

The United States and France announce a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Lebanon, effective at 04:00 on 27 November 2024; its thirteen-paragraph text is circulated to the Security Council as the annex to S/2024/870. Lebanon undertakes to prevent attacks by Hezbollah and other armed groups and to confine arms to listed official forces, "starting with" the area south of the Litani; Israel is to withdraw south of the Blue Line within 60 days as the Lebanese army deploys, towards a target of 10,000 troops in the south. A US-chaired Mechanism with France, UNIFIL, Israel and Lebanon monitors it. Hezbollah is not a party.
