On August 25, 2024, Hezbollah launched drones and hundreds of rockets at Israel, prompting Israeli pre-emptive strikes against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) targeted short-range rockets aimed at northern Israel. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for hitting an Israeli military site, while Israel reported interception of most rockets and drones. Both sides have engaged in diplomacy via intermediaries to avoid further conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the strikes as necessary for security, while Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah suggested the group may retaliate further.
