Over the past month, Israel has conducted multiple aerial attacks on Hezbollah, killing the Shiite militia’s leader Hassan Nasrallah
Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah facilities in Lebanon have forced around one million people to flee their homes, the country’s caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, has estimated. He claimed that the sheer extent of the exodus is unprecedented in the country’s history.
Israel and Hezbollah have sporadically exchanged fire since the former launched a military operation in Gaza in response to Hamas‘ deadly incursion on October 7. Israel seriously escalated its campaign against the Shiite militant group earlier this month, wounding thousands in a sabotage operation targeting the group’s handheld communication devices. This has been followed by a wave of airstrikes as part of the Israel Defense Forces‘ ‚Operation Northern Arrows‘. According to the Lebanese health authorities, Israel’s actions have claimed at least 1,300 lives.
