Hezbollah's attacks on northern Israel were initiated in support of Hamas, following a significant assault by a Palestinian extremist group that triggered an Israeli offensive in Gaza.

The ongoing conflict has led to an estimated 1.3 million people being internally displaced within Lebanon.

The current violence in the region was sparked by an unprecedented Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, which resulted in over 1,200 Israeli deaths, primarily among civilians.

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has escalated into a full-scale war since cross-border fire intensified on October 8, 2023, leading to ongoing Israeli bombardments and ground incursions.

The Lebanese health ministry reports that the violence has resulted in over 2,700 deaths and more than 12,400 injuries in Lebanon.

The town of Al-Allaq suffered the heaviest losses, with 16 fatalities, all from the same family, highlighting the devastating impact on civilian populations.

The airstrikes have not only killed top Hezbollah leaders but have also forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes in Lebanon and Syria.

In a related diplomatic effort, a U.S. delegation led by Middle East envoy Amos Hochstein is traveling to Israel to continue ceasefire negotiations regarding Gaza and Lebanon.

Recent Israeli strikes have caused multiple casualties, including six deaths and 37 injuries near Sidon, and five fatalities in an attack near Saida.

Israeli airstrikes targeted 16 areas in the Baalbek region, resulting in 58 injuries and ongoing rescue efforts in a Hezbollah stronghold.

Israel's military operations in southern Lebanon, which began on September 30, 2023, aim to dismantle Hezbollah's weapons and infrastructure.

Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati expressed optimism for a potential ceasefire, suggesting that U.S. involvement could facilitate this before the upcoming presidential elections.
