Fears of a return to full-scale war as Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire hits one-year mark
It is now a year since Israel and Hezbollah formally agreed to a ceasefire. It was meant to end more than 13 months of cross-border violence, and an Israeli ground invasion that killed more than 4,000 Lebanese and 127 Israelis. But with Israeli airstrikes continuing and both sides accusing each other of violating the agreement, fears are building of a return to full-scale war. Blake Sifton files this report for CNA from Kiryat Shmona, on Israel’s border with Lebanon.
