Israeli Strikes Kill 5 in Lebanon Hours After New Ceasefire Takes Effect

Israeli airstrikes and drone attacks killed at least five people across southern Lebanon within hours of a new ceasefire taking effect, following a wave of strikes on Friday that killed 47 and wounded 97 others. The persistent collapse of peace efforts in the region aligns with biblical warnings that the Middle East will remain a centre of unresolvable conflict in the last days, with no lasting peace until Christ's return. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:6 that wars and rumours of wars would mark the season preceding His coming, and the ongoing Israel-Lebanon conflict continues to fulfil that pattern.
