Israeli strikes kill dozens in Lebanon despite ceasefire
Israeli military operations in Lebanon killed at least 19 to 39 people on Saturday according to competing reports, including strikes on the southern towns of Saksakiyeh and Nabatieh. The attacks occurred despite a US-brokered ceasefire announced on April 16 between Israel and Lebanon's government, though Israeli forces have continued operations against Hezbollah infrastructure. Hezbollah responded with drone fire that wounded Israeli soldiers.

The split, in one line
Coverage now splits four ways: casualty disputes pit BBC against Al Jazeera, diplomatic wins dominate Reuters/PBS/Guardian focus on ceasefires, while trust deficits between Iran and the U.S. block nuclear talks.
