Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire Frays as Hezbollah Fires on Israeli Forces

HeadlineApr 22, 2026

A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon showed new signs of collapse Tuesday as Hezbollah fired rockets and drones at Israeli forces for the first time since the truce took effect last Friday. Hezbollah said the strikes were in response to Israeli attacks on civilians and the destruction of homes and villages in southern Lebanon. Both sides accused the other of breaking the truce even as Washington prepares to host a second round of talks between Israel and Lebanon tomorrow; Hezbollah is not involved in the ceasefire negotiations. Meanwhile, the Israeli military announced Tuesday that two soldiers have been sentenced to 30 days in military detention and removed from combat duty after one soldier used a sledgehammer to smash the head of a statue of Jesus Christ in southern Lebanon, while the other soldier filmed him.
