The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Islamist Hizbullah guerrillas announced on Apr. 26, 1996, has implications for the entire Middle East. The ceasefire brings hope of an eventual full peace treaty between Israel and Lebanon, furthering the Middle East peace process. The agreement brings to an end the bombardment of southern Lebanon which Israel launched on Apr. 11, 1996, arguing that it could no longer tolerate Hizbullah rocket attacks on northern Israel. Hizbullah has now agreed to limit its attacks to the 'security zone' in the south of Lebanon which Israeli forces have occupied since 1985.

Tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians took flight from southern towns and villages on Apr. 12, 1996, as fighting between Israel and Hizbullah intensified. The chaotic exodus from south Lebanon was prompted by Israel's warning that it would respond to Islamic guerrilla rocket attacks on northern Israel by bombarding 45 towns and villages. At least seven civilians were reported to have been killed in raids on southern villages and the Syrian-controlled Bekaa valley by the afternoon. At least four Israelis were wounded in a retaliatory rocket attack by Hizbullah on Kiryat Shmona, Israel.
