“Hezbollah said on Thursday that it had carried out rocket and drone attacks on Israeli troops in the border region, and Israeli airstrikes continued to pummel southern Lebanon on Thursday — underscoring how little the cease-fire deal had shifted either side’s military posture, and how little it has changed life for civilians on the ground.”
