The ceasefire agreement includes a 60-day cessation of hostilities, seen as a crucial step towards a lasting peace. As part of the deal, Hezbollah fighters are expected to withdraw 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Israeli border, while Israeli ground forces are to pull back from Lebanese territory.

Despite warnings from both the Israeli military and Lebanon’s army advising against immediate returns due to ongoing troop movements, displaced Lebanese residents have started heading back to their villages.
