On October 23, 2025, Israel launched a series of airstrikes against eastern regions of Lebanon, particularly targeting mountainous areas and regions near the border with Syria.

According to both Lebanon's National News Agency and the Israeli military, these strikes were aimed at neutralizing Hezbollah targets.

The Bekaa region saw significant activity as Israeli warplanes targeted what was described as a 'military camp' and facilities believed to be involved in the production of precision missiles.

Additionally, strikes extended into northern Lebanon, with the Sharbin area also being hit.The Israeli military justified these actions by stating that they struck several 'terrorist targets,' specifically emphasizing the dismantling of Hezbollah's military capabilities.

This includes not only training camps but also infrastructure tied to the production of weapons.

Despite a ceasefire in November 2024 ending over a year of conflict with Hezbollah, including two months of open warfare, Israeli operations in Lebanon continue.

This ongoing activity has raised tensions and prompted discussions within the Lebanese government regarding disarming Hezbollah, a move that is strongly opposed by the militant group and its allies.This recent series of strikes by Israel marks a significant escalation, reigniting concerns about potential conflict revival.

The international community's response remains critical as diplomatic efforts seek to de-escalate regional tensions.

Lebanon's moves towards addressing these strikes diplomatically come under scrutiny given its precarious political and security environment.
