Hezbollah launched rockets toward northern Israel shortly before the announcement of a ceasefire extension, underscoring the ongoing instability in the region. The Israel Defense Forces intercepted the projectiles, preventing casualties, but Israel responded with retaliatory strikes in southern Lebanon.
The flare-up highlights the fragility of the truce despite continued diplomatic efforts. United States President Donald Trump confirmed the extension of the ceasefire as Israeli and Lebanese officials engage in rare direct talks aimed at reducing tensions.
The exchange demonstrates how quickly hostilities can resume, even as negotiations continue, raising concerns about the durability of the agreement and the broader stability of the Middle East.
