September 2024 Lebanon strikes
On 23 September 2024, Israel began a series of airstrikes in Lebanon as part of the ongoing Israel–Hezbollah conflict.[1] Israel's attacks have killed over 800 people,[2] injured more than 5,000,[3][4] and displaced hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians.
The attacks are the deadliest in Lebanon since the end of the Lebanese Civil War, and began five days after Israel did a deadly pager and walkie-talkie attack on devices intended for Hezbollah members, and three days after Israel killed Redwan Force commander Ibrahim Aqil as well as 54 others.[5]
The deadliest day was 23 September, when Israeli attacks killed 558 people, including 50 children and 94 women.[6]
After the attacks, it was reported that Israel planned an invasion of Lebanon.[7] On October 1, Israel officially invaded Lebanon.
