Summary
The Israeli military recently conducted strikes in southern Lebanon, killing a Hezbollah operative, raising concerns about the cease-fire’s stability, particularly following a prior period of calm near Beirut. UN official Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert condemned the attacks, highlighting the panic they caused among civilians seeking normalcy. The ongoing conflict has devastated Lebanon’s economy, with estimated damages of $14 billion, necessitating $11 billion for reconstruction, as Hezbollah, despite being weakened, asserts its commitment to the cease-fire with Israel.
