Israeli Strikes on Hezbollah Weapon Routes Test Fragile Ceasefire

Israel targets sites along Syria-Lebanon border, citing ceasefire violations, as Gaza conflict continues with deadly consequences.

Israeli military jets struck alleged Hezbollah weapons smuggling sites near the Syria-Lebanon border, claiming the activity violated a recently brokered ceasefire.
The ceasefire, mediated by the U.S. and France, requires Hezbollah to retreat north of Lebanon’s Litani River and Israeli forces to withdraw from southern Lebanon over a 60-day period.
Despite the truce, sporadic violence has persisted, with both Israel and Hezbollah accusing each other of ceasefire breaches.
In Gaza, an Israeli strike on a vehicle killed five people, including three workers from the U.S.-based charity World Central Kitchen, which Israel said it was investigating for possible ties to Hamas.
The broader Israel-Hamas war in Gaza has resulted in over 44,000 Palestinian deaths and significant humanitarian challenges, while the Israel-Hezbollah conflict has claimed over 3,760 lives in Lebanon.
