Lebanon building damage in latest Israel war estimated at $1.38b: survey
ONP Summary
Israel and Hezbollah established a ceasefire in Lebanon that achieved the longest period of relative calm in months of fighting, but the arrangement remained fragile with both sides maintaining they retained the right to respond militarily.

Conservative: Conservative-leaning outlets stress Israel's security imperative to maintain operational capacity against Hezbollah and Iranian threats, framing the assertion of military readiness as a necessary precondition for sustainable peace and protection of Israeli communities.
