Israel's Channel 12 reported Monday that the deal concerning Lebanon aims for a 60-day ceasefire, during which the specifics of a comprehensive agreement will be reached.
In a new phase of the war between Hezbollah and Israel, the group has issued a call for the evacuation of 25 Israeli settlements located in northern Israel.
Israel is discussing an Egyptian cease-fire proposal that would see four hostages released in exchange for a two-day halt to the fighting in Gaza, an Israel official said Monday.
The official said the discussions were both internal and with Egyptian officials. “We are examining every possible option to advance a deal,” the official said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed enthusiasm for the deal in a meeting with his Likud party on Monday, according to another official.
The official, who attended the meeting, said Netanyahu told lawmakers that he would immediately take the Egyptian proposal. He quoted Netanyahu as saying, "I am ready, even now.”
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations about the proposal with the media.
Hamas has yet to formally respond to the plan.
The Israeli cabinet will not meet in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office or the occupation army’s headquarters over security concerns related to Hezbollah drone attack on the Israeli premier’s private residence in Caesarea earlier this month, Hebrew-language media reported.
The Kan public broadcaster said the new protocol was already in effect for today.
The Ynet news site reported that the meetings are being moved due to attempted attacks on politicians and symbolic government sites, while the Walla news site said the decision was made in response to the drone attack on Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea earlier this month.

A senior Qatari security official will meanwile visit Beirut in the coming days to discuss Lebanon’s demands and concerns, with a diplomatic source saying that Speaker Nabih Berri has informed Egypt and Qatar that Hezbollah has agreed to separate Lebanon’s front from Gaza and to implement Resolution 1701.
Berri’s press office however said the remarks attributed to Berri about the negotiations were inaccurate.
Informed sources meanwhile told al-Joumhouria newspaper that “the U.S. mediator has been tasked by the U.S. administration to exert extraordinary efforts to convince Israel to agree to the ceasefire according to Resolution 1701’s stipulations, as long as the Lebanese side has declared its commitment to it and as long as the Israeli army has said that it has pushed most of Hezbollah’s fighters away from the border.”

The Israeli enemy staged more attacks targeting several areas across Lebanon, as the brutal aggression on Lebanon entered day 36.
Several Lebanese were martyred and many others were injured in Israeli aerial attacks that targeted areas across south Lebanon, Bekaa, and Mount Lebanon.
In south Lebanon, the Israeli enemy committed on Monday morning a massacre that killed at least 7 people and injured 17 others in the Raml neighborhood in Tyre, according to the Lebanese Heath Ministry.
The city of Tyre witnessed a series of violent Israeli air raids that targeted several neighborhoods.
Hezbollah announced in a statement that its fighters ambushed Israeli military vehicles and soldiers as they advanced toward Tell en Nhas on the outskirts of Kfarkela in southern Lebanon.
As Israeli strikes on Syria intensify to cut off supply routes between Iran and Hezbollah, targeting the Syrian depth, Moscow, an ally of the Syrian regime, adopts a bystander position regarding these attacks, limiting its role to denunciation and making statements.
Since the Al-Aqsa Flood operation on October 7, 2023, launched by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Israel has escalated its strikes in Syria, mainly focusing on southern and central Syria.
Russia has not taken any action in response to these strikes, but it consistently condemns them and releases statements against them.
Among the most notable strikes was the attack on the Scientific Research Center in Masyaf, west of Hama, which is located about 70 kilometers from the Russian Hmeimim airbase in southern Latakia.
The New York Times reported about an airdrop coinciding with the bombing and the seizure of documents from the research center.
Additionally, the Mezzeh area in Damascus has become a stage for a series of assassinations and attacks targeting leaders and members of Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Recently, Israel has been targeting the Syrian-Lebanese border, claiming it is cutting off supply routes for the regime and Iran to Hezbollah.
The number of Israeli soldiers killed in southern Lebanon is increasing daily rather than decreasing over time, Israeli media reported on Monday.
An analysis by Seth Frantzman published in the Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post pointed out that, after a month into war with Lebanon, the Israeli operation has begun to "take toll".
The strikes "Israel" conducted to supposedly weaken Hezbollah’s command and control have failed to meet their objectives, as the Lebanese group's leadership remains intact and capable of continuing its deadly operations, Frantzman indicated.
Despite that the assassination of Hezbollah commanders and Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah "should have weakened the group’s command and control," the Gaza war has revealed that such movements "are capable of replacing commanders even as they suffer blows," according to Frantzman.
Hezbollah said its fighters targeted Israeli soldiers in south Lebanon on Monday, after earlier claiming repeated attacks on troops in the same area near the border.
Hezbollah fighters targeted "an Israeli enemy troop gathering" near Wazzani village "with a rocket salvo", the group said in a statement.
Hezbollah also ambushed Israeli troops near the nearby village of KfarKila on Monday. The Iran-backed group said it "ambushed... the Israeli enemy's vehicles and soldiers as they advanced towards" the outskirts of the border village of KfarKila ahead of deadly clashes.
It had earlier claimed four attacks with rockets and artillery on Israeli troops at Fatima's Gate, a shuttered border crossing in Kfarkila.

The office of Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri denied on 27 October media reports claiming that Hezbollah has agreed to split the Lebanese front from Gaza and agree to a separate ceasefire deal.
“What was reported by one of the media stations, attributed to Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri about the negotiations, is inaccurate,” Berri’s office said in a statement on Sunday evening.
Lebanon’s LBCI broadcast channel cited a diplomatic source earlier on 27 October as saying that Berri informed the Qataris of “Hezbollah's agreement to separate the fronts and accept Resolution 1701 on the condition that it be part of an integrated package.”
The report came as Washington continues to push for “de-escalation” in Lebanon under the framework of an updated version of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which Lebanese officials have rejected.
Al Mayadeen Net sources reported that Resistance factions launched a drone attack on the Al-Omar oil field base, the largest US military occupation base in Syria, on Monday.
The sources indicated that loud sounds were heard emanating from within the international coalition base, prompting a heightened state of alert among the soldiers stationed there.
This comes shortly after a US occupation base in al-Tanf, an area on the Syrian-Jordanian-Iraqi tri-border, was attacked on Sunday night, according to Al Mayadeen's sources.

The Lebanese health ministry said that Israeli strikes on Sunday killed at least 21 people across southern Lebanon.
Nine people were killed and 38 wounded in a strike on Haret Saida, near the port city of Sidon, the ministry said. At least seven others including a nurse and three rescuers were killed in the southern village of Ain Baal and five in Burj al-Shemali.
A strike on Haret Saida, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) from the Israeli border, completely destroyed the top floor of a three-story building, according to an AFP correspondent.
Nearby buildings were also damaged. The Lebanese army blocked access to the sector, which has become crowded with people fleeing other areas of south Lebanon since Israel launched its offensive against Hezbollah in September.
AFP's correspondent said that no warning to evacuate the zone was given before Israel's strike.
In Ain Baal, the dead included three emergency workers working at a center run by the Al-Riossala Association, a charity linked to the Shiite political party Amal, which is an ally of Hezbollah.
An Israeli strike on Tyre on Monday killed seven people and wounded 17 others.
An "Israeli enemy strike this morning on a building" in the center of Tyre killed "seven people and wounded 17 others", a health ministry statement said, updating an earlier toll of five dead and 10 wounded.
An AFP video journalist saw emergency personnel rush a survivor to an ambulance on a stretcher, while other rescuers worked to put out a heavily smouldering fire at the site, where a residential apartment block had collapsed.
Later Monday, the Israeli army told residents in parts of central Tyre to leave immediately, warning it would attack Hezbollah targets there.
"Hezbollah's activities force the (Israeli army) to act against it forcefully," military spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on X, urging residents to "head north".
An accompanying map showed large swathes of the city marked in red, including an area abutting a UNESCO World Heritage site.

On Saturday, strong explosions caused by the Israeli army in southern border villages triggered earthquake warnings in large parts of Israel.
Meanwhile near Beirut, a drone targeting a car on the Araya main road in Baabda missed its target, causing no casualties.
