Lebanese speaker of parliament Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah ally who negotiated the truce on behalf of Lebanon, has said Beirut recorded at least 54 ceasefire violations by Israel since Wednesday, Reuters reports.

Berri urged the committee tasked with monitoring the truce to “urgently” ensure Israel halts its breaches.

Lebanon’s official news agency NNA said Israeli forces fired two artillery shells toward the southern Lebanese town of Beit Lif in the Bint Jbeil district, while heavy machine gun fire targeted Yaroun.

No injuries were reported in either incident, NNA said.
