Lebanese Foreign Minister Reveals Secret 21-Day Ceasefire Agreement Between Beirut and Tel Aviv – Israel Had Already Planned to “Neutralize” Hezbollah.

Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib revealed in an interview with CNN that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a ceasefire just days before he was killed on September 27 in an Israeli attack in Beirut. Habib referred to a US and French proposal for a 21-day ceasefire, which, according to initial reports, was supported by the Israeli government.

Israel has informed the U.S. that it plans to conduct a limited-scale ground operation in Lebanon that could begin imminently, an American official told the Washington Post.

The planned operation will be smaller in scale compared to Israel’s last war against Hezbollah in 2006, the official emphasized.

Israel is preparing to launch further strikes against Hezbollah to ensure the safe return of 70,000 Israelis who were evacuated from border settlements nearly a year ago. This was confirmed by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The conflict has already displaced tens of thousands of Lebanese residents, according to the government in Beirut.
