As of November 30, 2024, a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah continues to hold, despite recent Israeli airstrikes targeting militants. The truce, brokered by the U.S. and France, has allowed many Lebanese to return home after extensive conflict, although tensions remain high with ongoing hostilities in Gaza.
The ceasefire was established following a prolonged conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which escalated after Hezbollah's support for Hamas in October 2023. The agreement aims to stabilize the region and facilitate the return of displaced individuals to their homes.
