The conflict intensified after Israel targeted Hezbollah communication methods, starting with pager and walkie-talkie explosions as part of a broader strategy.
The fighting escalated after the onset of Gaza war, with Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel in solidarity with Palestinians.
The situation worsened when Israel killed Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander, in an airstrike in Beirut on July 31.
Israel launched extensive airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, leading to a large rocket barrage from Hezbollah in response.
Approximately 70,000 Israelis have been displaced due to the conflict, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to aim for their return to northern Upper Galilee.
Recent airstrikes by Israel resulted in at least 575 deaths in Lebanon, including women and children, prompting further retaliation from Hezbollah.
The conflict is now spiraling, with Hezbollah firing missiles towards Tel Aviv and concerns about a potential ground invasion by Israel.
There is widespread international call for a ceasefire in Gaza, which some believe could help stabilize the situation at the northern border with Lebanon.
Criticism has emerged regarding Israel’s actions as reckless and disregarding international law, with concerns about escalating into a broader conflict in the region.
