Despite a recently announced truce mediated by the United States, Israel conducted an airstrike in southern Lebanon. The strike targeted areas near the town of Naqoura, according to Lebanese security officials. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for launching rockets into northern Israel shortly before the Israeli response, alleging it was in retaliation for a deadly Israeli strike earlier in the day. The announced ceasefire aimed to end weeks of escalating cross-border fire between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group. This latest exchange raises concerns about the fragility of the agreement and the potential for renewed conflict. Both sides have indicated a willingness to abide by the truce terms, but the immediate violation casts doubt on its long-term viability. The U.S. is reportedly working to de-escalate the situation and ensure the ceasefire holds.
