US President Joe Biden has announced a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah.
According to Biden, the deal will take effect from today.
Earlier, Israel launched extensive air strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs after its military issued evacuation orders in the area.
Israeli troops began a land invasion of Lebanon almost two months ago in response to almost a year of rocket attacks from Hezbollah.
A ceasefire in Lebanon would not directly affect Israel's war in Gaza.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his security cabinet will approve a ceasefire deal agreement to end fighting with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Under the deal, he says, any attempts by Hezbollah to rearm will be a violation of the deal and that Israel will "respond severely" if they do.
He adds if Hezbollah breaks the deal, Israel will strike.
The Israeli leader says some have warned him that the ceasefire means Israel won't be able to go back into Lebanon if it needs to.
Netanyahu ends by saying that an agreement can be enforced, and they will enforce it.
