About our Israel/Lebanon news
Latest news on Israel-Lebanon conflict, providing comprehensive coverage of border clashes, Hezbollah attacks, IDF strikes, diplomatic efforts, and impact on civilians in northern Israel and southern Lebanon.
The ongoing Israel-Lebanon conflict, part of the broader Israel-Hamas war, has seen a significant escalation since October 2023. Hezbollah, the powerful Lebanese militant group backed by Iran, has been engaged in daily exchanges of fire with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) along the Israel-Lebanon border, raising fears of a wider regional war.
On 27 July 2024, a rocket strike on a football field in Majdal Shams, a Druze town in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, killed 12 children aged 10 to 16. Israel blamed Hezbollah for the attack, though the group denied responsibility. In response, Israel conducted airstrikes deep into Lebanese territory, targeting Hezbollah positions. The incident has sparked intense diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation, with the US, France, and UN urging restraint from both sides.
The conflict has had a devastating impact on civilians in both countries. Over 95,000 Lebanese have been displaced from southern Lebanon, while approximately 96,000 Israelis have been evacuated from northern communities. The ongoing tensions have disrupted daily life, damaged infrastructure, and taken a toll on local economies, particularly affecting agriculture and tourism in border regions.
This latest phase of hostilities is rooted in the complex history of Israel-Lebanon relations, including the 2006 Lebanon War and ongoing disputes over border demarcation and maritime rights. Hezbollah, which emerged during Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon in the 1980s, remains a powerful force in Lebanese politics and a key player in the Iran-led 'Axis of Resistance' against Israel.
