A ceasefire exists in name, but not in practice. Since early March, Israeli strikes have killed nearly 2,800 people across Lebanon, with 39 more dying on a single Saturday — among them children — as both Israel and Hezbollah continue trading fire despite a deal brokered in April. The gap between diplomatic declarations and lived reality has rarely been so stark, and the question of what a ceasefire means when the killing does not stop is one that history has struggled to answer.
