A day after the agreement was signed, Israel and Hezbollah accuse each other of breaking the truce.

Israel's military says it fired on suspicious vehicles that entered areas near the border.
 
Hezbollah claims at the same time that Israel opened fire on civilians in Lebanon.

On Thursday morning, the Israeli military, the IDF, stated that they had identified several suspicious persons and vehicles that arrived in several areas near the border, reports Reuters.

Israel claims due to the incident that the ceasefire has been broken. The military then fired at the people, and two people are said to have been injured, according to a security source.

"Committed violations"

There are also accusations from Hezbollah that the ceasefire has been broken. Hassan Padlallah, a member of Hezbollah in Libanon's parliament, says that Israel opened fire on civilians who were returning home during the ceasefire, The Guardian reports.

- The Israeli enemy attacks people who return to the border towns. Israel has committed violations today, says Padlallah.

On Wednesday, the 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah began. In the past 24 hours, long queues of cars  have formed along the roads towards the southern parts of Lebanon, as many families have seen the ceasefire agreement as a chance to return to their homes and normal lives again.
