Washington ExaminerIsrael has expanded its attacks further into Lebanese territory despite a US-brokered ceasefire announced on April 16, according to reporting from Beirut. The outlet said its coverage has shown that Israel's war is not limited to southern Lebanon. Al Jazeera’s correspondent reported from the Lebanese capital on the continued operations.
The ceasefire took effect last month but has not halted all Israeli military activity in Lebanon. Reports indicate attacks have moved into additional parts of the country in the weeks since April 16. The situation remains fluid with operations reported across a wider area than the southern border region that was the initial focus of the ceasefire agreement.
