Arab mediators have brokered an agreement to end Lebanon's worst internal fighting since the civil war.
It includes lifting a Hezbollah-led blockade on the capital's port and airport, and ending the military's presence in the streets. The agreement follows an announcement by Lebanon's government on Wednesday, cancelling measures to ban Hezbollah's communications network. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had called the measure a 'declaration of war'. The Qatari government, which is leading the Arab League mediation efforts, has invited Hezbollah and the Lebanese government to Qatar for talks to resolve the two parties' broader dispute.
