Tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border escalated on Oct. 8, 2023, following a barrage of rockets launched by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah toward Israel in solidarity with Hamas’s attack on Israel the day before.

Israel then retaliated by firing heavy artillery toward South-eastern Lebanon.
