Fragile Ceasefire Between Israel and Hezbollah Holds Despite Violations

The U.S.-brokered truce pauses over a year of conflict, but tensions and challenges threaten its sustainability.

• The ceasefire, based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701, requires Hezbollah to withdraw north of the Litani River and Israel to remove troops from southern Lebanon within 60 days.
• Both sides have accused each other of violating the truce, with Israel conducting an airstrike on a Hezbollah weapons depot and Hezbollah allegedly breaching terms.
• Lebanon faces immense reconstruction needs, with damages estimated at $8.5 billion, while international aid pledges have yet to materialize.
• The Lebanese military, tasked with enforcing the ceasefire, is underfunded and in a precarious position, navigating tensions with Hezbollah and relying on Western financial support.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned of resuming hostilities if Hezbollah breaches the agreement, underscoring the fragility of the truce.
