Israel's Heaviest Attack on Lebanon Breaks Down Fragile Peace Deal

Israel launched its deadliest strike on Lebanon in early June 2026, killing over 250 people in one day. The total death toll from Israeli strikes since March now exceeds 2,500. Israeli officials say those killed were militants; Lebanese sources dispute this. The attack reflects an escalating cycle—each side strikes back at the other—that has shattered a U.S.-brokered ceasefire meant to stop the fighting.
