Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah escalated on August 25, 2024, following a significant exchange of strikes between the two. The Israeli military launched pre-emptive airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon after detecting preparations for a missile attack on Israeli territory. Hezbollah responded by firing over 320 rockets and drones toward Israeli positions, claiming these actions were retaliation for the death of a senior commander last month.
