Fifty-nine people—28 Israeli civilians and 29 IDF soldiers, as well as a Thai citizen and an Indian national—have been killed by Hezbollah fire since the terror group opened a front against Israel the day after Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of some 1,200 people, according to the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem.
Some 570 additional people have been wounded in Israel, including about 340 civilians.
Last week, Hezbollah introduced changes to its war against the Jewish state that include using precision-guided missiles to target IDF troops.
The Iranian terrorist proxy in Lebanon announced the “transition to a new and escalatory phase in the confrontation with the Israeli enemy.”
Hezbollah has attacked Israel nearly daily for over 12 months, firing some 10,000 rockets, missiles and drones. Jerusalem has escalated attacks on Hezbollah since adding the return home of its displaced citizens in northern Israel to its official war goals on Sept. 17, 2024.
