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 don’t believe the numbers. There is no way that Israel accepted a cease fire with that numbers of casualities

      Why not?

      The stated goal of entering Lebanon was to end the threat from Hezbollah - if they stay away from the border and allow the Lebanese government to enforce rule of law, hasn’t that been fulfilled?

        You’d think. You’d be wrong. The problem started when you used logic and math.

        I start to worry there’s an exchange rate of 1 Zionist for 20 ‘others’. That could explain why they think they can kill so many others before their egos are assuaged.
