Israel wants the Lebanese army to be deployed in areas around the border in place of Hezbollah

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the negotiators had made "good progress" on Thursday on a potential deal.

Brett McGurk, President Biden’s Middle East co-ordinator, and Amos Hochstein, who has led negotiations in the conflict with Hezbollah, are in Israel for talks with the country’s authorities, although it was not clear whether any progress could be made ahead of the US presidential election, next week.

Since the conflict escalated five weeks ago, Israel has launched widespread air strikes across Lebanon and a ground invasion of areas near the border.

At least 2,200 people have been killed in the country, according to the Lebanese health ministry, and 1.2 million displaced, mostly Shia Muslims, heightening sectarian tensions and adding pressure on public services that were already struggling after years of a severe economic crisis.

The Israeli government says its goal is to change the security situation along the border and guarantee the return of around 60,000 residents who have been displaced because of Hezbollah’s rocket, missile and drone attacks.

On Wednesday, Israeli public broadcaster Kan published what it said was a draft agreement, written by Washington and dated Saturday, for an initial 60-day ceasefire.

Israel would withdraw its forces from Lebanon within the first week of the deal, and the Lebanese army would be deployed along the border. During the pause, Hezbollah would end its armed presence in the area.

The objective is to pave the way for the full implementation of United Nations Resolution 1701, which ended the 34-day war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006.

The text, among other things, called for the removal of all armed groups, including Hezbollah, from the area south of the Litani River, 30km (20 miles) north of the border. Only the UN peacekeeping force known as Unifil and the Lebanese army would be allowed there.

Israel, however, distrustful that the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers will be able to keep Hezbollah away from the border, reportedly wants to be given the right to strike the group if needed after the end of the war. This demand is likely to be rejected by the Lebanese authorities, who say there should be no changes to Resolution 1701.

When asked about the document reported by Kan, White House national security spokesperson Sean Savett said there were “many reports and drafts circulating” that “do not reflect the current state of negotiations”. He did not, however, respond to a question about whether that text was the basis for further talks.

Israel kills October 7 Hamas terrorist who murdered hero Brit who bravely threw back seven terrorist grenades to while defending his friends before he was killed by the eighth

The IDF has killed the Hamas commander responsible for killing a British-Israeli citizen who died while defending partygoers at the Nova Festival on October 7 by chucking seven Hamas grenades back at the terrorists. 

 He was seen on dashcam footage cornering 22-year-old Aner Shapira, whose mother is from Oxford, and several terrified attendees in a small concrete building, into which he chucked several grenades. 

But Shapira, who at the time of his death was serving in an elite unit in the IDF's Nahal Brigade, was seen catching the grenades and throwing them back at the Hamas fighters. 

He managed to do this seven times, before the eight grenade tragically killed him. 

Chilling footage caught by a dashcam in a car parked outside the shelter appears to confirm this, with the video filmed just after 8am showing several armed terrorists swarming the shelter and firing shots through the entrance.

The military said last week that Mohamed Abu Itiwi, commander of the Nukhba force, Hamas’s elite military unit, was killed in central Gaza.

Itiwi is said to have been responsible for leading the mass slaughter at the Nova Festival, along with the subsequent kidnapping of hundreds of young revellers on October 7 from the Re'im party.
