On a Thursday afternoon in June 2026, a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah was announced — and almost immediately unmade. Forty-seven people, among them women and children in the villages of southern Lebanon, died in strikes that continued even as the truce was supposed to hold. The agreement, meant to anchor a broader American diplomatic effort with Iran, instead revealed how fragile such arrangements become when hardliners on both sides treat restraint as surrender, and when a million displaced people have already learned not to trust the word of those who hold the weapons.
