The White House has announced an extension of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, moving the deadline for an Israeli troop withdrawal to February 18. This decision comes as reports indicate violence has erupted, with Israeli forces killing over 20 individuals in Lebanon during protests against their presence just as the original withdrawal deadline passed. Despite calls for compliance and a fragile peace, tensions remain high, with Hezbollah refusing to participate in the extended ceasefire agreement. Israeli military operations continue, leading to further casualties among returning residents, which raises concerns about the sustainability of the ceasefire amidst ongoing Israeli-Lebanese hostilities.
