Two weeks after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire took hold between Israel and Hezbollah, the agreement is dissolving under the weight of mutual accusation and continued bloodshed. On Sunday, Israeli strikes killed fourteen people in Lebanon — among them children and women — while an Israeli soldier also lost his life, bringing the conflict's toll since March to over twenty-five hundred dead. The ceasefire, extended to mid-May, now exists largely as a formality, with both sides treating the pause not as peace but as preparation.
