Will the US-brokered ceasefire in Lebanon maintain?

Not less than 3,823 folks killed, greater than 1.2 million displaced and estimated financial losses of $8.5bn.

Lebanon’s prime minister is asking Hezbollah’s practically 14-month battle with Israel the “cruellest part” within the nation’s historical past.

The ceasefire presents hope for a return to peace and an opportunity for folks to rebuild their lives.

However the settlement has raised questions:

Is the underfunded Lebanese military able to implement the phrases of the deal?

And the way fragile will the scenario be within the subsequent 60 days, when Israeli troops and Hezbollah fighters withdraw from southern Lebanon?
