Israel and Lebanon

In September 2024, the Israeli military began a major conflict with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, following a year of escalating tensions and border strikes. A ceasefire deal in late November 2024 saw the intensity of violence decrease though Israel continues to launch sporadic strikes across the country.

Airwars has documented numerous allegations of civilian harm since September 2024 as a result of Israeli forces fighting Hezbollah.
