Ceasefire Collapses as Israel and Hezbollah Clash, Death Toll Tops 3,000

Fresh clashes have broken out across southern Lebanon as a new 45-day U.S.-backed truce took effect. Multiple Israeli airstrikes struck towns near the border while Hezbollah forces launched attacks on military positions in northern Israel. Lebanon’s Health Ministry reports more than 3,000 people have died since hostilities resumed on March 2, including women, children and healthcare workers. The killing of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander near Baalbeck, and subsequent drone strikes on Israel’s Iron Dome, underline the fragile state of the ceasefire.
