Israel and Hezbollah have agreed on a ceasefire on Friday, three officials confirmed, after fighting between the two sides in southern Lebanon threatened to put into jeopardy an initial agreement reached between Iran and the United States on Wednesday, aimed at ending the war.
Negotiations between Washington and Tehran, meant to take place in Switzerland on Friday, were cancelled amid the fighting.
Qatar, the US and Iran mediated the truce, two regional officials and a US official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. A Hezbollah official also confirmed mediators' attempts.
An agreement would be announced soon, he said, adding that he was speaking on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to comment publicly on the matter.
