What we know:

• Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to a ceasefire deal to end fighting with Hezbollah in Lebanon
• The Israeli prime minister says Hezbollah has been “set back decades” after Israel killed several of its senior commanders
• 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

Earlier, 

Netanyahu did say that 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 that 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 “an agreement can be enforced and we will enforce it”.
