Recent hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah are challenging a fragile ceasefire established last week. Hezbollah’s mortar strikes on an Israeli outpost prompted Israel’s largest air strikes since the truce, resulting in multiple casualties in Lebanon. Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz, have warned of strong repercussions for any ceasefire violations. Meanwhile, Hezbollah claims its actions are defensive responses to Israeli aggression. As accusations of truce breaches mount, the effectiveness of the international monitoring committee remains critical.
