The U.S.-brokered agreement would end more than a year of fighting, though Israel continued bombing major areas like Beirut just hours before the vote.

By Maayan Lubell, Maya Gebeily and Laila Bassam JERUSALEM/BEIRUT (Reuters) -Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday he was ready to implement a ceasefire deal with Lebanon and would respond forcefully to any violation by Hezbollah,

The proposed deal is said to resemble the United Nations Security Council resolution which ended the 2006 war, but with more international support to push the Iran-backed armed group away from the border with Israel and bolster regular Lebanese army troops deploying there when Israeli forces withdraw.
