The guns were supposed to have fallen silent.
It was, after all, just hours after US President Donald Trump had announced that a two-week ceasefire had been agreed to halt the war in the Middle East.
But just as the region was breathing a sigh of relief, Israeli jets conducted a 10-minute blitz across Lebanon - a massive aerial attack that killed at least 303 people and wounded 1,150 others, according to Lebanon's health ministry.
Local and Western condemnation was swift and widespread, but no criticism came from the US against its ally in this war.
Iran said this was "a blatant violation" of the ceasefire deal and has asked the US to halt the Israeli "aggression".
