Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah continued on Friday, despite President Donald Trump's announcement of a three-week extension to the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.
Hezbollah reacted with contempt to the extension, calling the truce 'meaningless'. The Iran-backed militant group remains a powerful force in Lebanon, and concerns over the government's ability to bring it under control have raised questions about the ceasefire's long-term prospects.
The extension was announced by Trump on Friday, following a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, Hezbollah has rejected the move, saying that it does not address the underlying issues driving the conflict.
Lebanon has been plagued by political instability and economic woes in recent years, which have contributed to tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. The ceasefire was initially agreed upon in August 2018, but has been repeatedly breached since then.
