Following a Hezbollah attack on an Israeli military site in Haifa, Israel has intensified its military actions in Lebanon on March 2, 2026. The Israeli strikes, targeting southern Lebanon and Beirut's southern suburbs, have resulted in at least 31 deaths and mass displacement of civilians. Hezbollah's attack was a response to Israel's assassination of Iran's supreme leader in Tehran. The Lebanese government has outlawed Hezbollah’s security and military activities and ordered the arrest of those who carried out the rocket strike. The United States has reportedly declared the ceasefire in Lebanon over and will not interfere with Israel's attacks unless Lebanon designates Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
