Key provisions of Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire

BEIRUT - Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah agreed to implement a ceasefire early on Nov 27 as part of a US-proposed deal for a 60-day truce to end more than a year of hostilities.

Here is a summary of its key provisions.

HALT TO HOSTILITIES The halt to hostilities was to begin at 4am local time (10am, Singapore time) on Nov 27, with both sides ceasing fire by the morning of Nov 27.

Israel was expected to stop carrying out any military operations against Lebanese territory, including against civilian and military targets, and Lebanese state institutions, through land, sea and air.

All armed groups in Lebanon - meaning Hezbollah and its allies - would halt operations against Israel.

ISRAELI TROOPS TO WITHDRAW The Israeli military would withdraw from southern Lebanon within 60 days. The troops would gradually pull out and civilians on both sides would be able to return home.

Lebanon had earlier pushed for Israeli troops to withdraw as quickly as possible within the truce period, Lebanese officials told Reuters.

They now expect Israeli troops to withdraw within the first month, a senior Lebanese political source said.
