In a tense atmosphere, Lebanon's Hezbollah has criticized the extended U.S.-mediated ceasefire with Israel, labeling it as ineffective. This reaction follows Israeli military strikes that reportedly killed two Lebanese civilians and military activities near the contested buffer zone.

The ceasefire, which was brokered and extended by U.S. President Donald Trump, sought to de-escalate the hostilities. However, Hezbollah's continued allegations of aggression by Israel highlight the precarious nature of the truce.

Amid the ongoing skirmishes, the ceasefire is increasingly viewed by observers and residents as fragile. The situation underscores the broader regional conflict dynamics, with calls from various quarters for a more robust peace process.
