Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Strained

Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Strained

The ten-day truce between Israel and Hezbollah is on the verge of collapse as both sides report major violations along the border.

An Israeli strike in the village of al-Tiri killed journalist Amal Khalil and wounded several others, an act the Lebanese government has characterized as a war crime.

Hezbollah responded by launching an attack drone at Israeli positions, claiming it was a necessary defense against ongoing incursions.

Diplomatic efforts are now shifting to Washington, where Lebanese officials are expected to request a one-month extension of the ceasefire to prevent a return to full-scale war.
