There was celebratory gunfire on the streets of Lebanon's capital of Beirut as a ceasefire between the country's militant group Hezbollah was reached with Israel. But how the newly-brokered deal will hold up and shake out for the wider region remains to be seen.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon began on Wednesday morning, a day after Israel carried out its most intense wave of airstrikes in Beirut since the start of the conflict, killing at least 42 people across the country.
