Israel and Hezbollah near ceasefire; US mediates deal for truce, troop withdrawal, and weapon removal.

Israel and Hezbollah are close to a ceasefire deal, with the U.S. mediating talks. The proposed agreement includes a 60-day transition period for Israeli forces to withdraw from southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah to move heavy weapons north of the Litani River. The Lebanese army will patrol the border, monitored by a U.S.-led oversight committee. Israel seeks assurance to act against Hezbollah violations. Over 3,000 have died since mid-September.
