The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon appears to be holding, raising hopes of a lasting respite after a 13-month border conflict that spiraled into an all-out war in September.

Lebanon's military deployed troops and tanks across the country's south on Thursday as a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war largely held for a second day.

Analysts say significant gaps remain, including over the presence of Israeli troops in Gaza and Hamas’s future role.
