Lebanon is a Middle Eastern nation located along the Mediterranean Sea. It directly borders Israel to the South and Syria to the North and East.
The nation has been in several conflicts with Israel over the past several decades and tensions along the border happen regularly, particularly with the large Lebanon-based terrorist organization Hezbollah, which wields significant political power in the country.

Today’s reality of Israel’s northern border is that while perhaps called officially by another name, there is already a war taking place. It’s on a low flame, but it is war.

More than 60,000 Israelis from the North have been displaced and are living in hotels or with relatives, friends, or in rental accommodation, and they feel abandoned.
IDF fighter jets attacked additional Hezbollah targets in the Yaroun area of southern Lebanon at the time of the targeted strike on the Hezbollah commander.
The strikes crossed into Israel in the area of Ein Zeitim, as well as in the city of Safed and a series of moshavs in northern Israel.
