TL;DR Summary

Two people were wounded by Israeli fire in southern Lebanon despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, brokered by the US and France. The truce, which began on Wednesday, requires Hezbollah to withdraw north of the Litani River and Israeli forces to return to their side of the border, with a buffer zone patrolled by Lebanese troops and UN peacekeepers. The Israeli military stated it fired at individuals breaching the ceasefire conditions. The agreement follows 14 months of conflict that displaced over a million people in Lebanon and killed thousands.
