The truce was meant to pave the way for peace, but both sides have since exchanged accusations of violations. Lebanese authorities have faced increasing pressure from the US and Israel to disarm Hezbollah, which is heavily backed by Iran. Lebanese leaders are concerned that Israel could escalate attacks across Lebanon to force the government's hand in confiscating Hezbollah’s weaponry more rapidly.&nbsp;Earlier in the day, a drone strike by the Israeli military hit a car in the southern village of Braikeh, injuring two people. Israel stated that the strike was aimed at two Hezbollah operatives. This follows a deadly Israeli airstrike on Sunday, which targeted a vehicle in the Ayn al-Mizrab area, located 10 kilometers north of Bint Jbeil.

Lebanon’s army is expected to complete the disarmament of regions south of the Litani River, situated 30 kilometers from the Israeli border, by the end of 2025.
