A day after Hamas’s attack on Israel, Hezbollah began firing rockets into Israeli territory almost daily October 7th1,200 people were killed and more than 250 hostages were taken, sparking the ongoing devastating war in Gaza.

Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s leader at the time, vowed to continue firing on Israel until it stopped its attack on Gaza. Thereafter, there were repeated exchanges of fire between Israel and the Iranian-backed militant group, with skirmishes raising fears that the fighting could escalate into a larger regional conflict.

On September 16thIsrael’s war cabinet expanded its stated war goals to include the return of displaced residents in the north of the country, where Hezbollah rocket fire has displaced more than 60,000 Israelis.

Hours later, Israel detonated thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah members, killing dozens and wounding hundreds. The next day there was an attack on the group’s walkie-talkies.

To September 23rdIsrael launched a major offensive against Shiite-majority areas across the country where Hezbollah wields significant influence, killing over 500 people in the deadliest day for Lebanon since its civil war that ended in 1990.

To September 27thIsrael killed longtime Hezbollah leader Nasrallah in a massive attack in Beirut’s southern suburbs, scuttling ceasefire talks. A series of subsequent attacks decimated the group’s leadership and pushed the organization even deeper underground.

Israeli attacks continued to target large parts of the country, particularly the Shiite-majority south, east and southern suburbs of Beirut, known as Dahiyeh, killing more than 3,700 people.

And Hezbollah continued to fire rockets into Israel, with some of the projectiles falling more than 70 miles into the country. The vast majority of its missiles and drones were intercepted by Israel’s air defense systems, but some caused damage. Since October 2023, Hezbollah attacks on Israel have killed 47 Israeli civilians and 31 security personnel in Israel. Another 46 Israeli soldiers were killed in Lebanon.

On November 26thIsrael and Lebanon agreed to an agreement to end the conflict with Hezbollah, which came into force early the following day.
