As Netanyahu vows to continue 'intense reaction' to terror group's entrenchment in south Lebanon, Paris reportedly says Israel isn't using agreed mechanisms to enforce ceasefire

Israel will gradually withdraw its forces over 60 days as Lebanon's army takes control of territory near its border with Israel to ensure that Hezbollah does not rebuild its infrastructure there, Biden said.

A cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah brokered by the U.S. and France took effect in Lebanon early Wednesday, raising hopes of ending more than a year of cross-border strikes and a full-scale war that has killed thousands.
