Military Developments and Strategic Posturing
The intensification of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, following Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, has resulted in dramatic escalations. Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, coupled with retaliatory rocket fire from Hezbollah into northern Israel, have led to numerous casualties and displaced thousands of civilians on both sides (BBC News, 2024; CBS News, 2024).
