The southern Lebanese village of Debbine was a scene of destruction on Sunday (April 19), with streets lined with damaged buildings and rubble after a ceasefire with Israel earlier this week.

Israel and Lebanon agreed a "cessation of hostilities" on April 16 at 2100 GMT for an initial period of 10 days to enable peace negotiations between the two countries, according to a text of the deal released by the U.S. State Department.

The deal does not require Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon, where Israeli troops have been destroying villages and infrastructure after ordering residents south of the Litani River to flee. The area makes up about 8% of Lebanese territory.
