Officials say the strikes targeted Hezbollah infrastructure, but Lebanese authorities accuse Israel of expanding attacks despite truce commitments. That contradiction is now driving questions over whether diplomacy can hold.

What matters now is whether these attacks remain limited or trigger broader regional retaliation, with negotiators watching whether ceasefire breaches become the start of a wider collapse.
