Ceasefire Collapses: Israel Strikes Resume After Lebanon Deal

Lebanon and Israel announced a ceasefire on June 4, designed to create buffer zones where Hezbollah fighters would be prohibited. Within 24 hours, Israeli airstrikes resumed, killing civilians according to Lebanese officials. The cycle repeats a familiar problem: agreements announce peace faster than facts on the ground enforce it. Success requires Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah and Israel to withdraw—a 60-day timeline previous accords have failed to keep.
