Israel and Lebanon have been in an undeclared war since October 8, 2023, when the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah began launching missiles and drones towards communities in the north of the Hebrew State as a gesture of solidarity with the Palestinian movement Hamas, after their armed incursion into Israel, which, in turn, responded to each attack.
Tens of thousands of Israelis living in the north were displaced to other areas of the country.
