The Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire Lasted About as Long as a Phone Charge
Everyone popped the non-alcoholic champagne celebrating peace in the Middle East, only for reality to crash the party literally hours later.
We barely had time to read the headlines about a potential breakthrough before the bombs started falling again. Reports of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon were still fresh on the internet when Israeli airstrikes hit southern Lebanon.
The strikes killed at least seven people, including two children. Diplomatic breakthroughs apparently have the shelf life of open milk in this region. The ink on the draft wasn't even dry—if there even was any ink—before the whole "stopping the violence" plan went up in smoke.
So much for that historic diplomatic triumph everyone was quietly whispering about.
It turns out declaring a ceasefire is a lot easier than actually ceasing fire.
