At dawn on Sunday, the Lebanese group Hezbollah launched what it described as a “large-scale” retaliatory attack, targeting numerous Israeli positions.

The attack was anticipated soon following israel’s assassination of top Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukr, on July 30, and, one day later, Hamas’ top political leader Ismail Haniyeh. 

The attack came amid ceasefire talks in Egypt, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been accused of attempting to thwart repeatedly.

According to gaza’s Ministry of Health, 40,334 Palestinians have been killed, and 93,356 wounded in israel’s ongoing genocide in gaza starting on October 7.
