Israel and Hezbollah are still fighting in Lebanon despite a US-brokered ceasefire deal that took effect on 17 April, pausing six weeks of full-scale war.
The agreement allows Israel to “take all necessary measures in self-defence, at any time, against planned, imminent, or ongoing attacks”.
It was not Hezbollah which signed the ceasefire deal with Israel but the Lebanese government, and its armed forces are too weak to control the Iran-backed group.
All of which leaves this partial ceasefire in a very precarious place, reports the BBC’s Lucy Williamson from Jerusalem.
