On April 8th, a ceasefire just dropped between Washington, Israel, and Tehran last night, but it ain't touching Lebanon where bombs are still raining. Down, heavy. For six weeks now, the U.S. and Israel been at war with Iran, who hit back by shutting the Strait of Hormuz and tanking the global economy. Meanwhile, Israel is running its own fight here, killing over 1,600 people since March, including more than 100 kids and… running over a million folks. Today's the bloodiest day yet, with civil defense counting more than 250 dead, 92 in Beirut and 61 in the southern. Suburbs, Hezbollah strongholds, packed with civilians. Another 1,000 injured, villages wiped out, bridges gone, and Beirut apartments turned to dust. Drone's buzz, not stop overhead, and ambulances clog every road from the airport in. Lebanese folks ain't shocked. Israel said the ceasefire skips them, they're used to the world looking away, while Israel pushes a security zone to the…

Platani River, cutting off the south and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee. It started when Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel on March 2nd in support of Iran, but Israel's goal now is clearing out threats so they're drawn. Northern citizens can return safe. Iran and Pakistan insist any deal covers Lebanon too, but Israel's Prime Minister disagrees and some officials talk new borders 30 kilometers. North. The ceasefire came after Netanyahu's sole Trump on the war back in February, but now allies are splitting. Israel wanted more in Iran, calling this pause, a disaster. As talks kick off Friday, on Iran's 10-point plan, like keeping the straight under their watch and nuclear rights, experts like XUS Ambassador Dan, Shapiro doubt it'll stick, predicting muddle talks or back to bombs. Lebanon's caught in the crossfire, paying the real price while big powers haggle.
