The ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel brokered by the United States and France was characterized by President Biden as an attempt to deliver a "permanent cessation of hostilities."

BEIRUT (Reuters) -- The Israeli military said its air force struck a facility used by Hezbollah to store mid-range rockets in southern Lebanon on Thursday, after both sides accused each other of breaching a ceasefire that aims to halt over a year of fighting.

The Biden administration reportedly briefed Trump's team about the deal, which has been in the works for months.

The Israeli military on Thursday accused the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon of violating the ceasefire agreement multiple times since it came into effect on Wednesday. Israeli soldiers have reportedly been deployed in recent hours to prevent further militia members from advancing into southern Lebanon,

Israel's military said on Thursday the ceasefire was violated after what it called suspects, some in vehicles, arrived at several areas in the southern zone.
