A ceasefire deal that could end more than a year of cross-border fighting between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group won backing from Israeli leaders.

The Israeli security cabinet on Tuesday voted to approve a ceasefire deal in Lebanon, potentially bringing an end to more than a year of cross-border skirmishes with Hezbollah and months of a full-scale war that has killed thousands.

Israel reached a deal for a 60-day ceasefire with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah after weeks of talks mediated by the U.S., a first step toward ending a conflict that’s killed thousands of people.
