Amid escalating air attacks by Israel on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, the US has delivered a ceasefire proposal, awaiting a response from the Lebanese government. The recent Israeli strikes, particularly in southern Beirut, have resulted in multiple casualties, including the killing of Hezbollah spokesman Mohammed Afif. The ceasefire plan aims to halt over a year of conflict while incorporating adherence to UN Security Council Resolution 1701, although critical issues remain unresolved, particularly regarding Israel’s demand for operational rights within Lebanese territory.
