Israel and Hezbollah both claim ceasefire violations
www.cbsnews.com
The bursts of violence — with no reports of serious casualties — reflected the uneasy nature of the ceasefire that otherwise appeared to hold as Lebanese troops began to deploy in parts of southern Lebanon.

Summary

Israel and Hezbollah accused each other of ceasefire violations two days into a truce that ended 14 months of conflict.

Israel claims Hezbollah breached terms by approaching border zones, while Hezbollah accuses Israel of firing on civilians.

Brokered by the US and France, the ceasefire involves a gradual Israeli withdrawal and Hezbollah’s pullback north of the Litani River, with U.N. peacekeepers taking over.

The war killed over 3,700 in Lebanon and 70 in Israel, displacing 1.2 million in Lebanon and 50,000 in Israel.

    I really wonder how Hezbollah are going to take effectively ceding territory to the Lebanese Armed Forces(LAF). The agreement apparently mandates that after the 60 day transfer process that LAF, alongside UN forces, become the sole military presence in southern Lebanon, an area previously held by Hezbollah. While the two forces are “friendly” at the moment it also wasn’t all too long ago that they fought on opposite sides of the Lebanese Civil War, and to me it’s looking a lot like this agreement will push them closer to resuming that conflict.
