The US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has effectively collapsed as both sides continue cross-border attacks, with Israel now ordering forced evacuations in southern Lebanon. Recent developments include Israeli airstrikes killing 34 civilians in 48 hours (20 in Nabatiyé and 14 in Tyre), while Hezbollah maintains its rejection of ceasefire terms. The conflict has displaced thousands, with Israel issuing urgent evacuation orders for Tyre residents ahead of planned strikes. Iran's involvement remains pivotal, as hostilities briefly paused following US mediation before resuming with renewed intensity. RIA Novosti+6
