Israel intercepts projectiles fired from Lebanon amid fragile ceasefire

The Israeli military announced Sunday that it had intercepted two projectiles launched from Lebanon into Israeli territory. The interception occurred despite a new ceasefire agreement aimed at ending hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, which was brokered by the United States earlier in the week.

Sirens sounded in the Israeli areas of Yiftah and Ramot Naftali shortly before the military reported that the two projectiles crossing from Lebanon had been intercepted. This incident highlights the fragile nature of the recently announced ceasefire.

Hezbollah has reportedly rejected the U.S.-brokered agreement. In response to potential attacks on northern Israel, Israel has previously threatened to target southern suburbs of Beirut. U.S. President Donald Trump had recently announced the agreement, urging both sides to refrain from attacks on specific Lebanese and Israeli regions.
