In one of the most devastating escalations in the Israel-Lebanon conflict, Israeli airstrikes on September 23, 2024, killed more than 270 people and injured over 1,000 in Lebanon. This attack marks the deadliest day in the region since the 2006 war with Hezbollah.
The strikes targeted Hezbollah strongholds across Lebanon, including residential areas in southern and eastern regions like Baalbek. In response, Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets at Israeli military posts. With violence escalating, Israel urged civilians in southern Lebanon to evacuate their homes, warning of continued heavy bombardment.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasized that these strikes aim to cripple Hezbollah's infrastructure and urged Lebanese civilians to leave areas where weapons are stored. This intensifying conflict has raised fears of a broader war, with Hezbollah vowing further retaliation in support of Palestine.
