Welcome to the NewsHour. For the first time in nearly 14 months, the guns along the Israel-Lebanon border are set to fall silent early tomorrow morning.

The Israeli security cabinet approved the ceasefire by a 10-to-one vote. Lebanon's government says it will ensure Hezbollah abides by the deal.

And at the White House, President Biden said the U.S.

will monitor the ceasefire. Nick Schifrin is here with more. Nick.

William, in those nearly 14 months, Lebanon says more than 3,500 Lebanese have been killed,

close to a million displaced, nearly one-fifth of the country. Israel says more than 70 have been killed and

more than 60,000 fled their homes since Hezbollah opened fire on October 8th. Today's ceasefire

requires that within 60 days, Hezbollah and Israel stop all attacks. Israeli troops leave Lebanon

in phases. Hezbollah move fighters and weapons north of the Latani River.

Lebanese armed forces returned to Lebanon's borders,

eventually numbering 10,000.

And the U.S. will chair a mechanism to monitor and judge violations.

This afternoon, President Biden portrayed the deal as lasting.

Effective at 4 a.m. tomorrow local time, the fighting across the Lebanese Israeli border will end, will end. This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities. What is left

of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations will not be allowed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Anjahou said if Hezbollah did not live up to the agreement, Israel maintained the right to act.

The length of the ceasefire depends on what happens in Lebanon. In full cooperation with the United States, we retain complete military freedom of action.

Should Hezbollah violate the agreement or attempt to rearm, we will strike.

And before the announcement, Israel pounded Lebanon with a wave of airstrikes,

including this one that hit a residential building in central Beirut.

And inside Israel, Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets and drones, most of which

were intercepted by Israeli air defense.
