Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire tested as deadly strikes continue

A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has reportedly come into effect following intense fighting in southern Lebanon, but continued violence has cast doubt on its durability.

Israeli air strikes killed at least 47 people and wounded dozens more before and after the truce was announced, while Hezbollah attacks reportedly killed four Israeli soldiers. Although Israel confirmed the ceasefire, military officials said operations against immediate threats would continue, and Hezbollah has yet to formally endorse the agreement.



The truce forms part of a broader US-brokered effort to end the wider conflict involving Iran, but both sides have accused each other of violations. Lebanese officials and displaced residents remain sceptical, while Washington hopes renewed talks between Lebanon and Israel can secure a longer-term peace amid ongoing tensions and deep political divisions.
