Residents of the Gaza Strip, south Lebanon, northern Israel and Kuwait were all under fire this week despite U.S.-arranged ceasefires supposedly in force in their regions.

Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza and Lebanon, with ?Israeli forces still actively deployed in both places. Hezbollah rockets struck northern Israel, and Iranian attacks targeted Kuwait¡¯s international airport.

The continued violence prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to comment on Wednesday that ceasefires in the Middle East involved ¡°shooting in a more moderate manner¡± rather than a total halt in fighting.
