As diplomatic efforts continue between Israel and Lebanon, a fragile ceasefire was tested by renewed violence along the northern border. The Times of Israel reports that Hezbollah launched a rocket attack just hours before a U.S.-brokered extension of the truce was announced.

Hezbollah fired a salvo of rockets at northern Israel late Thursday night, in the first such breach of the shaky ceasefire, shortly before US President Donald Trump announced the truce would be extended as envoys from Beirut and Jerusalem met in Washington…

The IDF later said it struck the launcher “within several minutes” of Hezbollah using it to target Shtula, along with another launcher “that was loaded and ready to be launched” at Israeli troops.

Hezbollah also took responsibility for several other attacks on Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon throughout Thursday, despite the ceasefire.

As tensions persist, The Fellowship and our supporters continue to pray for the protection of Israel’s northern communities and for wisdom among leaders seeking a path toward shalom, peace.
