Ceasefire Agreement
A ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel took effect on October 8, marking the end of more than 14 months of conflict.
Lebanese health authorities announced that nearly 4,000 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon over the past year.
According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, 78 people were killed in Israeli strikes one day before the ceasefire began.
This brought the total death toll since October of last year to 3,961, with 266 injuries reported on Tuesday alone. The cumulative number of injuries during the conflict has now reached 16,520.
The ceasefire terms stipulate that Israel will gradually withdraw its forces south of the Blue Line, the de facto border, while the Lebanese army will deploy across southern Lebanon within 60 days.
