Tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border escalated on Oct. 8, 2023, following a barrage of rockets launched by Hezbollah toward Israel in solidarity with Hamas' attack on Israel the day before. Israel then retaliated by firing heavy artillery toward southeastern Lebanon.
Since the start of the confrontations, 540 people have been killed, including 346 Hezbollah members and 100 civilians, according to figures released by Lebanese security and medical authorities. ■
