The intense flurry of strikes came even as Mr. Netanyahu signaled he was open to ending Israel\u2019s 13-month war with Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1dv1kvn\">\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The meeting of his security cabinet at the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv was expected to be an hourslong discussion of a proposed cease-fire agreement, according to two Israeli officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The cease-fire proposal, mediated by American and French diplomats, would start a 60-day process during which both sides would stop fighting and withdraw from southern Lebanon. Israeli forces would return south of the Israel-Lebanon border, while Hezbollah would retreat north of the Litani River, allowing the Lebanese Army \u2014 which is not a party to the Israel-Hezbollah conflict \u2014 to fill the vacuum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">But many questions about the proposal remain unanswered, including how the Lebanese Army would exert authority over the powerful militia. Israel has sought guarantees from the United States that it would have U.S. support to send troops back into southern Lebanon if Hezbollah violated the arrangement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Netanyahu is said to favor a deal, but some of his ministers, including far-right leaders who hold the balance of power in his coalition, have expressed strong reservations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Hezbollah\u2019s leader, Naim Qassem, suggested last week that the group would accept a truce if Israel stopped striking Lebanon and Lebanon retained its sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The conflict began in October 2023 after Hezbollah, which dominates large parts of southern Lebanon, began firing at Israeli military positions in solidarity with its ally Hamas, which had just raided southern Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Israel returned fire, and the conflict gradually escalated into a low-level war that displaced tens of thousands on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Fighting intensified over the summer as Israel scaled up its strikes, attacking neighborhoods south of Beirut that are dominated by Hezbollah and killing thousands \u2014 among them scores of Hezbollah commanders, including the group\u2019s longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah. On Sept. 30, Israeli troops crossed the border in a full-scale ground invasion, later capturing and decimating several villages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The pace of strikes has further increased over the past week as talks on a cease-fire appeared to be entering the closing stages. On Tuesday, Israeli forces issued the highest number of evacuation warnings for a single day in the Dahiya, the neighborhoods south of Beirut where Hezbollah is the dominant power, since the fighting began.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The cease-fire would officially be an agreement among Israel, Lebanon and the mediating countries, including the United States. A top Lebanese lawmaker has been acting as a liaison with Hezbollah, which the country\u2019s government does not control, and Hezbollah would not technically be a party to the deal. The United States designates Hezbollah a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-1smqmx3 etfikam0\">Jack Nicas<!-- --> and <!-- -->Myra Noveck<!-- --> contributed reporting from Jerusalem, and <!-- -->Euan Ward<!-- --> from Beirut.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"css-182hr0m\" data-testid=\"Show-More\" type=\"button\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Show more<\/button><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2024\/11\/26\/world\/israel-hezbollah-lebanon-cease-fire\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated\u00a0 Nov. 26, 2024, 10:02 a.m. ET Israeli forces launched a withering barrage of strikes in Lebanon on Tuesday, hitting the heart of Beirut and Hezbollah-dominated neighborhoods south of the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=130423\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-130423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=130423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130423\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=130423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=130423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=130423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
