On October 1, 2024, Israel`s military began what it described as "limited" ground raids against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, marking a significant escalation in the region. Troops launched operations based on precise intelligence to address threats to Israeli communities near the border. Accompanying air and artillery strikes targeted locations in Lebanese villages, with reports of heavy shelling and military activity, including helicopters and drones. Local residents in Aita al-Shaab witnessed intense bombardment, while flares lit up the night sky over Rmeish. This military action follows a surge in tensions ignited by a Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023, raising fears of broader conflict involving regional powers like Iran and potential U.S. involvement. The situation remains precarious as both sides prepare for further escalation in the ongoing confrontation.
