Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah agree to a ceasefire to end nearly 14 months of fighting

13 Sept 11:03 Key points summarised by AI

Israel approved a U.S.-France-brokered ceasefire agreement with Lebanon’s Hezbollah, effective Wednesday at 4 a.m., aiming to end 14 months of cross-border fighting linked to the Gaza war.
The deal requires Hezbollah to withdraw from southern Lebanon, Israeli troops to return to their side of the border, and an increased deployment of Lebanese and U.N. peacekeepers, with an international panel monitoring compliance.
A significant point of disagreement persists, as Israel insists on retaining the right to strike if Hezbollah violates the truce, a condition rejected by Lebanese and Hezbollah officials.
Hours before the ceasefire, Israel conducted intense strikes on Beirut and its southern suburbs, causing casualties and widespread evacuations, while the agreement does not address the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
