Lebanon Under Fire as Ceasefire Falters

Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, targeting a historic Crusader castle and surrounding villages, have triggered mass evacuations and fierce condemnation from Lebanese leaders, who accuse Israel of a campaign of cultural erasure and mass displacement. Amid escalating violence, Hezbollah retaliates with rocket fire into northern Israel, reigniting hostilities despite a fragile April ceasefire. In Gaza, another airstrike kills a nurse, underscoring the broader regional toll. Lebanon’s government vows to push for an Israeli withdrawal and return of displaced civilians, calling for U.S.-mediated talks as the only viable path — though success remains uncertain. With thousands dead and over a million displaced, the conflict shows no sign of de-escalating, as both sides dig in amid mounting casualties and shattered communities.
