KEY FACTS
  • On Wednesday night, Israel’s air force carried out an airstrike on a southern suburb in which Israel said it killed a senior Hezbollah military official.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT

In the weeks leading up to the recent Israeli drone strikes near Beirut, the region had been experiencing heightened military activity and political tensions. On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, which resulted in over 1,400 Israeli deaths and the abduction of around 200 individuals.

In response, Israel declared a state of war and initiated extensive military operations in Gaza, which included airstrikes and ground incursions. This escalation of violence prompted various regional actors, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, to express solidarity with Hamas, leading to increased military posturing along the Israel-Lebanon border.
