Lebanon death toll hits 4,362 despite ceasefire; Israel maintains buffer zone

Lebanon's Health Ministry reports 4,362 killed and 12,378 wounded in Israeli attacks since 2 March, with continued strikes and occupation despite a ceasefire in effect since 17 April and renewed 26 June. Israeli forces retain a buffer zone covering ~6% of Lebanon, down from ~20% seized pre-truce. The sustained toll and territorial hold indicate the ceasefire is partial and fragile, with ongoing hostilities undermining its terms.
