BBC Arabic's correspondent Carine Torbey reports from the border town of Khiam, as the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon goes into its second day.

The Lebanese army has set up a barrier to stop residents from returning to their homes in Khiam, after loud explosions continued to be heard in towns that are partly under Israeli occupation.

On Friday, the Lebanese President, Joseph Aoun, declared his country was entering a new phase which could transform the temporary ceasefire into a permanent peace settlement.
