Introduction

Countries tried to stop the war. But the fighting continues in Lebanon and Gaza.

Main Body

Leaders met in Washington. They did not talk to Hezbollah. Hezbollah is a strong group in Lebanon. Israel put soldiers inside Lebanon. Now, the Lebanese government cannot stop the war. On May 6, 2026, Israel attacked Beirut. They killed a leader from Hezbollah. Hezbollah sent rockets and drones to Israel. Many people died in these attacks. In Gaza, there is still a war. Israel attacks police and people. Many people are dead. There is no food or help. The Red Cross cannot find all the dead bodies because they have no machines.

Conclusion

The peace deals did not work. The fighting continues because the leaders cannot agree.
