Israeli cabinet reportedly set to vote on a Lebanon ceasefire deal

# Israel’s cabinet will reportedly vote on a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon today. The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah spiralled into full-scale war in September when Israel went on the offensive, killing three-thousand-500 Lebanese people and a string of Hezbollah leaders. According to reports, the deal will see the Israel Defence Forces withdrawing entirely from southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah will pull its heavy weapons north of the Litani River. Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, says they will retain the capacity to strike southern Lebanon in any agreement.
