Full Text of Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire Agreement:  JNS, Nov. 27, 2024 The National on Wednesday published what the Emirati state-owned newspaper said is the full text of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon that halted hostilities with the Hezbollah terrorist entity.

Lebanon War Toll: Thousands Dead, Hezbollah Arsenal Severely Depleted – Analysis:  Yonah Jeremy Bob, Jerusalem Post, Nov. 27, 2024 — From October 8, 2023, until November 26, 2024, below are some estimated numbers for the Lebanon war.

As I write, the intended timeline looks like it’s being overtaken by events: Lebanese are returning to some of the areas close to the border where the IDF is still deployed — unsurprisingly, because the IDF withdrawal was not expected to begin immediately, and the Lebanese Army that is supposed to take over responsibility was not readied to immediately deploy in its stead.
