Lebanon and Hezbollah have agreed to a US ceasefire proposal that would end the year-long conflict between the terror group and Israel, a top Lebanese official said.

The recent attacks are seen as part of Israel’s strategy to force Hezbollah and Lebanon to agree to a ceasefire, and an indication that it is prepared to expand its offensive by killing non-military members of the group and striking places outside areas where the movement has a strong presence, possibly to stir anti-Hezbollah sentiment.
