Ceasefire Measured in Hours?

Kol HaKavod to MK Effie Eitam who is calling on the government ministers to hold back their criticism of the way the war has been handled - because it really isn't over yet. He correctly points out that we have important work to do, and more importantly, our soldiers are still in Lebanon.

Update: A second exchange of fire between IDF soldiers and Hizballah takes place in another place in southern Lebanon.

The IDF is reporting that there was an shooting incident in Lebanon - where a Hizballah terrorist opened fire at IDF forces and was then shot and killed. No IDF soldiers were hurt. This is less than four hours after the ceasefire came into effect.

The Home Front Command has requested that civilians in the north stay in their bomb shelters. They are waiting to see if Hizballah sticks to the ceasefire and completely stops launching Katyusha rockets.

The IDF is also monitoring what is being said and done in Lebanon in relation to the Lebanese army - whether or not they will, in fact, take the ammunition away from Hizballah.
