Less than two full days into a ceasefire, Israel's military and Hezbollah were both claiming isolated breaches of the deal.

Israel said on Thursday that its ceasefire with Hezbollah was breached hours after Lebanese security sources said Israeli tanks attacked six areas of southern Lebanon, calling into question a truce reached after more than a year of fighting.

Thousands of families displaced by the conflict are travelling home hours after an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire takes effect.
