The reality on the ground is less blissful. There are rising tensions, and a managed, rolling war with near-daily Israeli strikes and dozens killed in both Gaza and Lebanon. This barely makes international headlines, but since the Lebanon ceasefire a year ago, Israel has struck south Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley more than 500 times, killing over 300 people who Israel says were Hizbollah operatives. The UN confirmed at least 103 of those killed were civilians. More than 80,000 Lebanese have yet to return to their homes in the south while an estimated 30,000 residents of northern Israel are still displaced. Hizbollah has confirmed only one attack against Israel since the ceasefire but has refused to disarm, and Israel has accused the group of rebuilding its military capacity.
