Israel and Hezbollah had agreed on a ceasefire almost two weeks ago. The painstakingly negotiated agreement provides, among other things, for Hezbollah to withdraw behind the Litani River about 30 kilometers north of the Israeli-Lebanese border in accordance with UN Resolution 1701. The Lebanese army is to monitor compliance with the agreement. Israel's ground troops are to gradually withdraw from Lebanon within 60 days. Since then, however, there have been repeated attacks by both sides.
