Israel and Lebanon may agree to a ceasefire today after a year of deadly conflict. Over 3,700 people have died since the war began in October last year when Hezbollah attacked Israeli territory in support of Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given his initial approval for the deal. The truce, backed by the US, EU, and UN, proposes Israeli troops withdraw from southern Lebanon and Hezbollah pull back its armed forces. Despite ongoing heavy clashes at the border, a final vote on the ceasefire is expected to take place later today.
