After a prolonged period of refraining from attacking Israel, Hezbollah, although unprovoked by Israel, fired hundreds of missiles and drones at both civilians and military forces during the U.S.-Israel war with Iran from February to April this year. This was the latest uptick in attacks since Hezbollah—again, unprovoked—joined the hostilities against Israel after Hamas’s surprise invasion of the country and the massacre of 1,200 Israelis in October 2023.
