Israel's cabinet on Tuesday approved a ceasefire proposal between Israel and Hezbollah after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he backed the deal. "If Hezbollah breaks the agreement and tries to rearm, we will attack," Netanyahu said on Tuesday ahead of the cabinet's decision. "For every violation, we will attack with might."

JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday he was recommending that his Cabinet approve a ceasefire with Hezbollah to end hostilities in Lebanon but that Israel would "respond forcefully" to violations by the powerful Iran-backed militia.
