Why Israel’s attacks on Lebanon could cripple US-Iran ceasefire

What Happened

Israel launched extensive air attacks on Lebanon, killing over 250 people on Wednesday, hours after a US-Iran ceasefire was announced. Officials disagree on ceasefire scope: Pakistan and Iran say it includes Lebanon; US and Israel claim it excludes Lebanon. The attacks struck over 100 targets across Beirut, Bekaa Valley, and southern Lebanon. Negotiations for permanent settlement begin Saturday in Islamabad.
