Israel, Hezbollah accept ceasefire deal brokered by U.S.

By our Special Correspondent

A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect at 2.00 a.m. (GMT) on Wednesday after U.S. President Joe Biden said both sides accepted an agreement brokered by the United States and France.

The accord clears the way for an end to a conflict across the Israeli-Lebanese border that has killed thousands of people since it was ignited by the Gaza war last year.
