Israel's Lebanon strikes expose a ceasefire that was never quite a ceasefire

3 July demolitions in Hula, a Christian mayor's public rejection of annexation talk, and an IDF chief brandishing 'swift offensive' rhetoric from above the Litani: the November ceasefire's pretence has been buried in plain sight.

Desk note: Monexus is publishing this read with the Israeli framing as the dominant frame, in line with what is currently moving on the English-language wires, while explicitly flagging that the Lebanese, UNIFIL, and Hezbollah-side counter-narratives are not yet on the public record through the channels this desk monitors. We will update once those voices are carried above the noise floor.
