Fragile Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Faces Continued Tensions

Despite a recent ceasefire, accusations of violations and isolated clashes between Israel and Hezbollah persist, raising concerns over its stability.

Israel has conducted airstrikes in southern Lebanon, citing Hezbollah's alleged violations of the ceasefire, including attempts to transport weapons and engage in 'terrorist activities.'
The ceasefire agreement requires Hezbollah to withdraw to areas north of the Litani River and for Israeli troops to gradually exit southern Lebanon within 60 days.
Both sides have accused each other of violating the ceasefire, but large-scale hostilities have ceased since the agreement took effect last Wednesday.
The ceasefire has been internationally brokered, with the EU and UN emphasizing its importance for regional stability and humanitarian aid efforts in Lebanon.
Parallel to the Lebanon developments, efforts to negotiate a ceasefire in Gaza continue, with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump reportedly prioritizing a resolution and the release of hostages held by Hamas.
