Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire Under Strain

Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire Under Strain

Two Israeli soldiers were killed and twelve wounded over the weekend, while Israeli military officials published a map showing a 'forward defense line' where they continue to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure.

French President Emmanuel Macron has blamed Hezbollah for the killing of a French peacekeeper, adding to international concerns about the durability of the ten-day truce.

Displaced residents who rushed back to their homes have found widespread destruction, with many hesitant to stay due to the risk of renewed hostilities.

The situation remains volatile as both sides maintain high levels of military readiness along the border.
