Smoke was seen lingering over Beirut on the morning of Wednesday, November 27, following the agreement of a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel.This footage was captured by journalist Nafiseh Kohnavard, who said that “celebratory gunfire can be heard as people are going back to their homes after ceasefire.”US President Joe Biden
confirmed the ceasefire on Tuesday, November 26.Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati
thanked Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron for their contribution to reaching the agreement, which Mikati
described as “a fundamental step towards establishing calm and stability in Lebanon and the return of the displaced to their homes and cities.”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
said that the length of the ceasefire would depend “on what happens in Lebanon.”“We will enforce the agreement and respond forcefully to any violation,” Netanyahu said. “If Hezbollah violates the agreement and tries to arm itself, we will attack. If it tries to rebuild terrorist infrastructure near the border, we will attack. If it launches a rocket, if it digs a tunnel, if it brings in a truck carrying rockets, we will attack.” Credit: Nafiseh Kohnavard via Storyful
