Ceasefires in Middle East failing as fighting escalates in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran (pbs.org)

• Israeli forces control 60% of Gaza, up from 50% at ceasefire; planning 70%.
• Capture of Beaufort castle in Lebanon marks deepest incursion in 26 years.
• Iran maintains closure of Strait of Hormuz; US and Iran trade strikes.

"Despite multiple ceasefire agreements across the Middle East, fighting continues in Gaza, Lebanon, and between the US and Iran. Israeli forces have expanded control in Gaza and Lebanon, while US-Iran clashes persist over the Strait of Hormuz. Ceasefires have not led to lasting de-escalation."
