Hezbollah and all other armed groups in Lebanon refrain from all offensive actions against Israel.

.

In return, Israel refrains from attacking targets in Lebanon. This applies to attacks by land, air, and sea.

.

Both Israel and Lebanon undertake to respect and follow the UN Security Council's resolution 1701, which formed the basis for the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006.

.

The commitments do not imply that either Israel or Lebanon waives its right to self-defense.

.

Lebanon's security forces and regular army will be the only ones allowed to carry weapons or deploy forces in southern Lebanon.

.

The sale, supply, and production of weapons and related materials in Lebanon will be monitored by the Lebanese government.

.

All unauthorized facilities for the production of weapons and other materials will be dismantled.

.

All military infrastructure and military positions that do not meet the requirements will be dismantled and disarmed. All weapons without permits will be seized.

.

A committee approved by both Israel and Lebanon will be established to monitor and assist in the implementation of the agreement's commitments.

.

Israel and Lebanon will report any violations of the ceasefire's obligations to the committee and to the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon (Unifil).

.

Lebanon will deploy security forces and soldiers along the border and at all border crossings between the countries, as well as along the defined line of the "southern zone".

.

Israel will, within a period of 60 days, gradually withdraw south of the so-called blue line, the demarcation line between Lebanon and Israel established by the UN in June 2000.

.

The USA will intensify indirect negotiations between Israel and Lebanon to reach an internationally recognized border for the disputed border area.

In August 2006, the UN Security Council adopted resolution 1701, aimed at ending the war between Israel and the Lebanese Shia movement Hezbollah.

Israel withdrew after a 34-day invasion of its neighboring country. It had begun after Hezbollah launched a rocket attack as a diversionary maneuver for an attack near the border, where several Israeli soldiers were killed and others kidnapped.

The resolution confirmed the "blue line" between Israel and Lebanon, which had been drawn up by the UN a few years earlier and had become a de facto border between the countries. North of the line, a security zone was established, stretching a few miles into Lebanon up to the Litani River. It was decided that only UN peacekeeping forces (Unifil) and forces from Lebanon's regular army would be allowed there.

Israel was ordered to withdraw all forces south of the blue line. Furthermore, demands were made that all militia groups in Lebanon would be disarmed, so that the Lebanese state would be the only armed power in the country. However, this did not happen.
