How the call settles
Israel continues strikes and/or ground operations in Lebanon through the end of April 2026 rather than halting them
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because Israel did not back off: after Operation Eternal Darkness (8 April) it kept striking Lebanon, and even after the US-brokered 16 April truce the Lebanese Health Ministry recorded killings from Israeli strikes on 25, 26, 28 and 30 April 2026 (at least 28 killed on 30 April), with the bombing campaign expanding into eastern Lebanon on 27 April.. Applied stored rule: Israel continues strikes and/or ground operations in Lebanon through the end of April 2026 rather than halting them.
