In Septemberā€“November 2024, Israel killed much of Hezbollahā€™s leadership, including its longtime secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, and diminished its military capacity. A ceasefire agreement was announced on November 26. It was largely based on United Nations Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Lebanon War, and required the disarmament of Hezbollah and the withdrawal of Israeli and Hezbollah fighters from the region of Lebanon south of the Litani River. The withdrawal of its fighters from Syria to meet its needs in Lebanon enabled the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria in December.
