In Beirut, CNN's Brent Sadler cited sources close to the negotiations who said the deal would create a 400-square-mile zone from which Hezbollah militia would be excluded.

The area would be patrolled by the Lebanese army and 10,000 international peacekeepers whose numbers would ultimately grow to 20,000, likely spearheaded by France and possibly Turkey, Sadler reported.

The Associated Press, quoting an individual close to the Israeli government, said there's a "good chance" Israel would accept the new cease-fire proposal.

Lebanese government officials, cited by the AP, said Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora was studying the document and contacting politicians in his country for their input.
