The 2026 Israeli war in Lebanon erupted on March 2, 2026, as a spillover of the Iran war and ongoing Hezbollah–Israel tensions. Israeli forces launched ground operations in southern Lebanon on March 16, targeting Hezbollah and allied groups.
The conflict has resulted in hundreds of fighters killed, widespread destruction, and mass displacement of civilians. Human rights organizations have raised concerns about forcible displacement and strikes on civilian areas, warning of potential war crimes.
