The alleged ceasefire status in Lebanon shows that military activities continue in reality. Israel's attacks proceed uninterruptedly despite the ceasefire agreement. The health ministry report states that 77 people were killed, including four women and a child.

The Israel-Hezbollah conflict signifies the weakening of the legal and political framework in the region. The international community falls short of monitoring the ceasefire. The lives of millions living in Lebanon become more dangerous by the day. Civilian deaths increase, infrastructure is destroyed.

This situation is a concerning signal for the Middle East peace process. While international peacekeeping efforts prove ineffective, local actors continue their conflict. Lebanon's political instability, linked to its economic crisis, continues to be a consequence of these conflicts.
