Lebanon says Hezbollah has accepted a US plan for it to halt attacks on Israel and for Israel not to attack the Lebanese capital Beirut, BBC reported. 

The Lebanese embassy in the US said it had "received confirmation of Hezbollah's acceptance of the US proposal for a mutual cessation of attacks".

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the agreement, but warned strikes on Beirut would go ahead "if Hezbollah does not stop attacking our cities and civilians".
