Israel and Lebanon have agreed to implement a new ceasefire, which will come into effect if the Hezbollah group completely stops attacks on Israeli territory. The news was announced by the US State Department, which has played a key role in mediating talks between the parties, as the BBC writes.

According to the agreement, the ceasefire is conditional not only on a halt to attacks by Hezbollah, but also on the withdrawal of the group's fighters from Israeli-controlled areas in southern Lebanon, up to the Litani River.

The US has announced that it will support the creation of special security zones, where control of the territory will pass exclusively to the Lebanese army, excluding any armed groups outside state structures.

The agreement comes at a time of high tensions in the region. On Wednesday alone, at least nine people were killed in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel, testing a partial ceasefire reached earlier in the week.

The two countries are expected to hold a new round of negotiations on June 22, with the aim of reaching a broader and longer-term agreement on security in the region.

However, Hezbollah's position remains unclear. Officials from the group have stated that they are not familiar with the negotiation process and do not feel obligated to respect decisions made during talks between Lebanon and Israel.

The conflict has escalated significantly since March, when Hezbollah launched rocket attacks on Israel. In response, Israel launched a broad bombing campaign and ground operations in southern Lebanon.

According to Lebanese authorities, more than 3,500 people have been killed since the fighting began, while over a million residents have been forced to flee their homes. On the other hand, Israel reports the loss of 26 soldiers and four civilians during the conflict.

US President Donald Trump has stated that he is concerned about the risk of further escalation of the war, stressing that stability in Lebanon is important to broader diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Iran has warned that any regional ceasefire agreement must include Lebanon, adding that it is ready to react if Israeli attacks continue.
