Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the US-brokered agreement with Lebanon, calling it a historic achievement that dealt a blow to Iran and Hezbollah.
"Yesterday ... "We achieved a historic deal for the state of Israel after direct negotiations between Israel and Lebanon," Netanyahu said. "This is a blow to Iran and Hezbollah."
Netanyahu reiterated that Israeli forces would remain in the so-called security zone established by the military some 10 kilometres (six miles) inside the Lebanese territory.
