Lebanon is considering a U.S.-backed cease-fire plan while Israel launched new strikes in the area south of Beirut.
Senior Lebanon officials are reviewing the proposal and it is based on the U.N. Security Council resolution 1701, The Washington Post reported.
Based on the plan, the militant group Hezbollah would pull back from Lebanon’s southern part. U.N. peacekeepers and the Lebanese military would be the only ones permitted to be in the area, one that is on the border with Israel.
