Hezbollah Missile Attack and IDF Retaliation Violate Lebanon Ceasefire
Hezbollah forces launched an anti-tank missile at Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon on Thursday, an act the IDF termed a 'blatant violation' of the ceasefire. Israeli airstrikes retaliated by killing two Hezbollah operatives in the Aainata area and another at a launch site identified as a direct threat. The escalation comes as regional diplomatic efforts move to the White House, where U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to join talks to stabilize the fragile Lebanon-Israel truce.
