Israeli Forces in Lebanon
In September 2024, the Israeli military began a major conflict with Lebanese group Hezbollah, following a year of escalating tensions and border strikes.
A ceasefire in late November 2024 saw the intensity of violence decrease though Israel continued launching sporadic strikes.
On March 2, 2026, against the backdrop of a war led by U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, both Israel and Hezbollah declared attacks on the other, officially ending the November 2024 ceasefire.
Airwars has documented hundreds of allegations of civilian harm since September 2024 as a result of Israeli forces fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon.
