Ceasefire Falters as Strikes Intensify

Israel ramps up airstrikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon after Netanyahu vows intensified attacks, citing Hezbollah’s use of fiber optic drones — a tactic also seen in Ukraine. Despite a ceasefire since April 17, Hezbollah claims eight attacks, including a drone strike on Israeli troops, while launching over a thousand drones and seven hundred rockets since the truce. U.S. officials warn Hezbollah is ignoring cease-fire demands, stressing Israel can’t tolerate ongoing attacks. Direct talks brokered by the U.S. are set to resume Friday at the Pentagon, with goals to disarm Hezbollah. Casualties mount: over 3,000 dead in Lebanon, 22 Israeli soldiers and a contractor killed, plus two civilians in northern Israel.
