Israel - Lebanon / Hezbollah ceasefire agreement is designed to devolve into an open-ended armistice between the two sides.

The agreement calls for a cessation of fire by both sides for a sixty-day period, withdrawal of IDF and Hezbollah forces from south Lebanon .

Hezbollah is to be demilitarised and prevented from re-arming in future.

The much-degraded Hezbollah , fearful of a resumption of full-scale hostilities, has so far refrained from firing into Israeli territory or at Israeli ground forces.

But Hezbollah has tested Israeli resolve by trying to hide its operatives among civilian returnees heading for their homes in southern Lebanon .

Syria will no longer serve as a ready conduit for Iranian arms and other supplies to Hezbollah .

Israel has used up vast amounts of munitions, leaving its stockpiles severely depleted, especially of the Tamir missiles used in the Iron Dome anti-missile batteries.

Israel and Lebanon are to renew talks about “frontier” adjustments, as demanded by Lebanon and Hezbollah .
