Israeli Strikes on Lebanon Persist, Echoing Future Risks for Gaza Ceasefire

Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, including a deadly attack on a construction site, raise concerns about the fragility of the ceasefire and potential impacts on the Gaza Strip.

• On October 11, Israeli airstrikes targeted a construction equipment business in Southern Lebanon, killing a Syrian passerby and injuring seven others, including two women.
• The bombings, part of nearly daily attacks by Israel since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Hezbollah, destroyed millions of dollars in bulldozers and excavators.
• These ongoing tensions in Lebanon may foreshadow similar risks for the Gaza ceasefire, as the Israel Defense Forces continue to conduct airstrikes amid regional instability.
