Netanyahu's new bid to break Iran ceasefire? Launches new attack

Within 24 hours of ceasefire talks, Israeli airstrikes pounded southern Lebanon, with the Israel Defense Forces claiming over 200 targets linked to Hezbollah were hit. Amid the violence, Iran has claimed a ceasefire is in place—though neither Israel nor the U.S. has confirmed it—highlighting the widening gap between diplomacy and ground reality.
