Minimize Two-day ceasefire?

What happened during Israel’s self-declared 48-hour ceasefire?

·         Israel's supposed 48-hour ceasefire did not last a day. On the same day it came into effect (31 July), Israel killed a Lebanese soldier by naval fire and its warplanes struck the village of Taibe.

·         That same day, Hezbollah fired only two mortars and no rockets, as opposed to 156 rockets the previous day. AFP newswire said the Hezbllah lull was in "reciprocation" to Israel's brief ceasefire.
