Submission statement: The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has escalated significantly in recent days, drawing international attention due to the intensity of the clashes and the broader regional implications. On October 3, 2024, Israel conducted airstrikes in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions and reportedly killing around 15 fighters. These strikes are part of Israel's broader campaign to neutralize Hezbollah's military capabilities, which includes disrupting their communications and targeting weapons depots. In response, Hezbollah has been launching cross-border attacks, seeking to put pressure on Israel while supporting Hamas in Gaza.
The situation has led to civilian evacuations, particularly in southern Lebanon, where the fighting has been most intense. There are concerns that the conflict could widen, with Iran and Yemen's Houthi group also involved through missile and drone strikes aimed at Israel. Efforts to mediate the conflict, including by the UN and other international actors, have so far been unsuccessful.
The ongoing war has severely impacted civilian populations on both sides, leading to a rising death toll and significant infrastructure damage.
