Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire Extension Despite Continued Strikes
Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend their ceasefire for 45 additional days following US-brokered negotiations, but Israeli military operations continued in southern Lebanon hours after the agreement, killing civilians and triggering displacement orders. The extension signals diplomatic effort while military actions challenge the truce's sustainability.
