Both sides have accused each other of violating the fragile truce, with Israel targeting Hezbollah's infrastructure and Lebanon reporting civilian and military casualties.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah fired into a disputed border zone on Monday, its first attack since a ceasefire took hold last week, after Lebanon accused Israel of violating the truce more than 50 times in recent days.

The Lebanese Army is tasked with ensuring that Hezbollah abides by the cease-fire. It has failed at that task before.

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem on Friday vowed to cooperate with the Lebanese army and help build the country's defence capacities amid efforts to implement the terms of a ceasefire with Israel."The coordination between the resistance and the Lebanese army will be at a high level to implement the commitments of the agreement,

The leader of the Lebanese militant Islamist movement Hezbollah, Naim Qassem, has said his group plans "high-level coordination" with the Lebanese army to implement a ceasefire deal with Israel that began on Wednesday.

The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militants has begun as a region on edge wonders whether it will hold

A ceasefire has come into effect between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon after a deal was agreed to end 13 months of fighting. In October 2023, Hezbollah began firing rockets at Israel in support of its ally Hamas in Gaza and Israel launched retaliatory air strikes in Lebanon.

A ceasefire deal that went into effect on Wednesday could end more than a year of cross-border fighting between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group, raising hopes and renewing difficult questions in a region gripped by conflict.

The Lebanese army said Israel violated the cease-fire agreement, while the IDF said it was responding to violations by Hezbollah.
