  • Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon killed hundreds of people in the past 24 hours, threatening to undermine a fragile ceasefire agreement. Iran insists hostilities must end as part of the deal, while Israel argues Lebanon was not included.
  • Israel has extended security "buffer zones" in southern Lebanon, viewing Hezbollah and Hamas as primary security threats. This proxy conflict persists alongside the main war, paused for two weeks.
