What we know:

• Israeli troops began a land invasion of Lebanon almost two months ago, in response to almost a year of rocket attacks from Hezbollah
• The ceasefire in Lebanon will not directly affect Israel’s war in Gaza

News Analysis: Crisis likely not over for Lebanon.

This war has been devastating for Lebanon.

More than 3,500 people have been killed, one million displaced and large parts of the country now lie in ruins.

Outside Hezbollah’s support base, many criticise the group for dragging Lebanon into a conflict that wasn’t in its interests.

Hezbollah will inevitably try to sell the deal as a victory, saying its resistance forced Israel to negotiate.

But it knows it’s been severely weakened. It hasn’t been destroyed by this war, but it may never be able to fully recover.

This is also a significant blow to the group’s main backer, Iran.

Hezbollah’s opponents, however, may see this as an opportunity to limit the influence of a group often described as a state within a state. The deal may bring this conflict to an end. But for Lebanon, the crisis isn’t over.
