Episode Notes:

Following negotiations between the Israeli and Lebanese governments, a 10-day ceasefire began on April 16. However, Hizballah was not a party to the negotiations, and the ceasefire agreement does not appear to have shifted anything about the belligerents' goals. Faysal Itani returns to the Warcast to provide an update on what's happening in Lebanon.
