Hezbollah and Israel Trade Blows After Ceasefire
Tue Dec 03 2024
After a quiet start, the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is looking Anything but peaceful. Last week, both sides agreed to stop fighting, but the truce hasn't lasted long. Israel has been striking Lebanon daily since the ceasefire began. One person died in these attacks. Hezbollah finally responded on Monday, firing two projectiles. No one got hurt, but Israel retaliated by targeting Hezbollah sites. Each side blames the other for breaking the ceasefire. The US and France think Israel might be in the wrong. Hezbollah says Israel has been attacking civilians and breaking Lebanese airspace. The fight is over an area called Shebaa Farms, which both countries claim. The ceasefire was supposed to last 60 days, with both sides moving away from the border. But with so many accusations flying, it's not clear if this truce will hold.
