An important article. Note the repeated Israeli strategy of buffer zones and "maximum pressure" that means the killing of civilians, de-population and destruction of civilian infra.

So basically, there won't be a ceasefire.

It's the same 1701 ceasefire that is proposed every time. Hezbollah won't actually leave south Lebanon and both sides will acknowledge that in the background. We'll see a cool down period in coming days and remains to be seen from where Israel will withdraw.
As expected Hezbollah largely achieved their goal and Israel lost this round. As Israel wasn't going to make a long term and large scale commitment in Lebanon, and Lebanon has strategic depth which is advantageous for Hezbollah.

Hezbollah likely will agree or has agreed to it.
Israel wasn't ready for another round with Iran as US Thaad and other missile defense systems in region got depleted to an extent during the war with Iran and won't be sufficient to provide extent of protection Israel got during that war.
Israel also doesn't want to make a long scale nor long term commitment in Lebanon as the cost outweighs the gains.

The lebanese government is such a cowardly cuck fools that it boggles the logical mind as to how they can actively and shamelessly conspire with the enemy (israel) that is bombarding illegaly their country on a daily basis to disarm their very last and effective lebanese defence (Hezbollah) against the very said enemy.
God forbid with Hezbollah disarmed, the evil entity would come for the cuck lebanese government and occupy lebanon permanently.
This is like throwing your gun away voluntarily in a gun fight with the injured enemy who dupes you into thinking and giving you false hope that he would go away once you become unarmed. Then he obliterates you with his machine gun seconds after you have thrown your gun away and tramples your dead body and has the last laugh.

Middle East crisis live: Israel to continue ground operation in southern Lebanon despite agreed ceasefire
The country’s defence minister said the IDF will not withdraw from southern Lebanon and will not allow the ‘return of the population’

Opening summary: Israel says fighting will continue in southern Lebanon despite new ceasefire agreement
Hello and welcome to the Guardian’s continuing live coverage of the crisis in the Middle East.
The Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, said the military will continue its ground operations in southern Lebanon, hours after Israel and Lebanon agreed to implement a US-backed ceasefire to end hostilities.
Katz said the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will not withdraw from southern Lebanon, including Beaufort Castle, and the hundreds of thousands of people forced to flee their homes will not be able to return.
“The IDF will, at this stage, continue its fire and ground operations, remain in the security zone in Lebanon up to the yellow line – including in the Beaufort area – and without the return of the population, while continuing to dismantle terrorist infrastructure on the ground,” he said in a statement.
He added that the IDF retained the “freedom of action, with American backing, to strike in Beirut in response to fire on Israeli communities and territory”.
The IDF also issued a warning this morning saying fighting will continue in southern Lebanon as it urged people to “refrain from heading south of the Zahrani River”.
Lebanon’s official National News Agency reported several people were wounded in Israeli strikes in the southern Tyre and Nabatieh areas, which have seen repeated attacks in recent weeks.
It came just a day after Israel’s and Lebanon’s governments agreed to implement a conditional ceasefire following a fourth round of talks in Washington. The truce is contingent on a complete cessation of fire from the Hezbollah militia and would reportedly create a number of “pilot” security zones in Lebanon from which the Iran-aligned group’s fighters would be banned.
The truce involves “the evacuation of all Hezbollah operatives” from areas south of the Litani River, according to a joint US-Israel-Lebanon statement released by the US state department.
It was not immediately clear how the Lebanon security zones would be established but the agreement calls for the Lebanese army to take full control of those areas.
Hezbollah has yet to comment on the ceasefire. The group is not taking part in the talks and firmly opposes them, saying it won’t abide by agreements that may result. A Hezbollah official told Agence France-Presse on Tuesday the group would “not accept a partial ceasefire”.
>> So what was agreed to if nothing was a agreed to? Seems like Lebanon has agreed to work with Israel to clear South Lebanon so that Israel can permanently occupy it. There is no other logical interpretation of this.

I am reading it right now.
One serbian soldier murdered and another 2 spaniards lightly wounded.
If the attackers were israelis (probably they are) nothing will be done. Impunity will be the answer.
It is shameful and European Union is gathering what they watered.

Once again the Lebanese government sacrifices the people of South Lebanon to Israel to save Beirut
Making it clear to the residents of the south that the government does not care about them and will not protect them, and resistance through Hezbollah is the only viable path
