In a significant escalation of tensions, Israel has launched a series of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, including the Bekaa Valley, Baalbek 100KM from the Israel border, and southern Lebanon. The strikes, which began on April 6, 2024, were in retaliation for Hezbollah's downing of an Israeli drone. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) targeted Hezbollah's air defense units, a military compound, and three additional infrastructures, including those of the elite Radwan Forces. Among the casualties were a field commander, Abdal Amir Halawi, and a senior commander in Hezbollah's elite forces, Ali Ahmad Hussein, as well as an Iranian general, Mohammad-Reza Zahedi, who was killed in a separate strike last week in Syria. The IDF's actions come amid rising tensions with Iran and follow a series of rocket attacks from southern Lebanon towards Israel, including 30-40 rockets towards the Northern Golan Heights, which have so far resulted in no reported damage or casualties.
