The ongoing Israel–Hezbollah war[b] began in September 2024, following a conflict that began after Palestinian nationalist groups, including Hamas, staged an armed incursion into Israel. Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group, attacked northern Israel in support of Hamas.
Background
Hezbollah and conflict with Israel
Hezbollah is a Shiite Muslim militant group and political party formed in 1982[8] to counter the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon during the Lebanese Civil War.[9] In 2022, Hezbollah lost a majority in Parliament in 2022, though the organization holds an effective control over southern Lebanon.[9]
Israel–Hamas war and escalation
On 8 October 2023, following an armed incursion by Hamas and other Palestinian nationalist groups, Hezbollah began firing rockets into Israel.[9] According to The Wall Street Journal, Hezbollah officials attended several meetings with Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers in Beirut to plan the incursion.[10]
History
Device explosions, airstrikes, and Nasrallah's assassination (September 2024)
On 17 September, hundreds of pagers used by Hezbollah operatives detonated after receiving a message.[11]
Israeli invasion of Lebanon (October 2024–present)
On 3 October, Israel fired airstrikes south of Beirut intending to destroy a bunker where Hezbollah leaders convened, including Hashem Safieddine, the presumed successor to Nasrallah.[12]
Impact
Casualties
At least two Lebanese soldiers have been killed.[13] On 5 October, Israeli officials claimed that 440 Hezbollah operatives has been killed since the incursion began.[14]
