Israeli airstrikes killed a Lebanese army general and soldiers just days after a US-brokered ceasefire took effect, while Israeli troops shot and killed a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank. France is investigating allegations that Israeli forces tortured aid flotilla activists. The military actions occurred in direct violation of the ceasefire terms, with the Lebanese general's death being a particularly high-profile target.
The ceasefire is coming apart almost immediately. Killing a general days after a peace agreement suggests either the ceasefire was never meant to hold or the Israeli military isn't bound by the terms the government agreed to. The baby's death—a 7-month-old—underscores how the civilian toll continues even during periods designated as peaceful. France's torture investigation adds another layer of accountability concerns. When a ceasefire collapses this quickly with high-profile kills, it usually means the next escalation is already being prepared.
