long article 5 min

The November 2024 ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, brokered by the US and France, failed to halt ongoing conflict. Despite the agreement, Israel continued military operations within Lebanese territory, citing security threats. A monitoring mechanism, including the US, France, Lebanon, Israel, and UNIFIL, lacked the authority to verify Israeli claims or enforce the ceasefire. UNIFIL documented over 10,000 Israeli airspace violations and 1,400 military activities in Lebanon between November 2024 and February 2026, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries. The monitoring mechanism ultimately collapsed following the resumption of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel after the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran.
