Tension between Hezbollah and Israel
The tension between Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israel began after the latest Israeli aggression in Gaza on Oct. 7. The Iranian-backed organization announced targeting Israel after the later announced war on Gaza following Hamas' Al-Aqsa Flood operation.
Hezbollah has been firing rockets against Israeli-occupied territories and the Israeli army has also been conducting airstrikes in southern Lebanon killing several Hezbollah generals and members.
Amid the exchange of attacks, The British newspaper The Telegraph has released a report in which it cited whistleblowers who claimed that Iran has been sending missiles and weapons to Hezbollah via Beirut Airport and storing them there. '
Lebanon denied the report and prepared a tour inside Rafic Al Hariri International Airport in the presence of journalists to confirm that the report shared is baseless.
Hamas' Al-Aqsa Flood operation
Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7, 2023, a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.
Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip, captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.
In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Since then, approximately 85% of Gazans have been displaced, all of whom are suffering from severe food insecurity, and the healthcare system has collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of people lack shelter, and aid trucks are entering the area at a lower rate than before the conflict began.
