Israeli Airstrikes Kill Over 330 Hezbollah Operatives in Lebanon Since 2024 Ceasefire

Since the ceasefire brokered in November 2024, Israel has intensified its military operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of over 330 operatives attempting to rebuild their military infrastructure, with recent strikes killing four key Hezbollah members. Israeli airstrikes between October 20 and 26, 2025, targeted multiple locations across Lebanon, killing 13 people, including nine Hezbollah members, and have continued steadily despite the ceasefire. Hezbollah's weapons caches in South Lebanon have been significantly reduced due to Lebanese Army operations, which have stepped up inspections and sealed discovered arms sites, pending arrival of US-supplied explosives. Despite a fragile peace, tensions remain high as Israel also carried out strikes in Gaza following alleged ceasefire violations by Hamas, resulting in casualties and ongoing accusations between the parties. The United States continues to play a role in coordinating with Israel, with officials emphasizing shared intentions to degrade Hezbollah's capabilities and maintain security along Israel's northern border. This multifaceted conflict underscores the complex dynamics involving Israel, Hezbollah, Lebanon's security forces, Hamas, and US diplomatic and military support amid ongoing ceasefire challenges.
