On April 8, 2026, Israel initiated a series of air strikes in Lebanon, specifically targeting the southern suburbs of Beirut, southern Lebanon, and the eastern Bekaa Valley.
These military actions occurred mere hours after a ceasefire was announced in negotiations involving the US and Iran, which had aimed to reduce hostilities in the region.
The Israeli military stated that the strikes were aimed at infrastructure associated with Hezbollah, a militant group backed by Iran, amidst ongoing tensions and recent projectile fire directed at Israel.
