What to know about the ongoing war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon
Iran tries to cosy up to Europe to increase pressure on US
AI Summary
Following a tentative ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran in April 2026, Israel escalated attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon, resulting in over 200 deaths and 1,000 injuries in Beirut and other areas. Israel claimed to target Hezbollah sites, including killing an aide to the group's leader, while Lebanese officials reported many civilian casualties. Hezbollah retaliated with missile strikes into Israel, causing no reported serious casualties. This recent conflict between Israel and Hezbollah began after the U.S. and Israel initiated a war against Iran in late February. The fighting resumed after a 15-month ceasefire, with Hezbollah citing retaliation for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader and Israeli aggression as justification for their attacks. A debate exists regarding whether the U.S.-Iran ceasefire applies to the Israel-Hezbollah conflict.
