Article Summary

Israel carried out airstrikes in southern Lebanon shortly after the U.S. announced a three-week extension of a ceasefire, hitting the towns of Touline and Khirbet Selm.

It focuses on the sequence of events to suggest a breach of diplomatic trust, using the proximity of the attacks to the ceasefire announcement to create a sense of urgency and concern.
