The fragile ceasefire in Lebanon is being tested by new clashes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants, despite a US-brokered agreement intended to end hostilities. The deal, hailed as a diplomatic breakthrough just days ago, has failed to halt skirmishes along the border, raising fears of a full-scale resumption of conflict. Reports indicate Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, while the militant group retaliated with rocket fire into northern Israel.
Both sides accuse each other of violating the truce terms. Analysts warn that the violence could unravel the ceasefire, which was seen as a crucial step toward regional stability. The US has called for restraint, but its leverage appears limited.
For the civilians caught in the crossfire, the already fragile peace is crumbling, and the promise of safety remains elusive.
