Hezbollah claimed responsibility for a series of attacks on Israeli military positions on August 19, 2024, including drone strikes on bases in northern Israel. The group targeted a barracks near the Lebanese border and a base near Acre, claiming retaliation for recent Israeli strikes that killed top commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut. Hezbollah reported a rocket and artillery attack on another Israeli position and confronted Israeli soldiers near the border. The violence has escalated tensions, with significant casualties reported on both sides since the onset of the Gaza War.
