Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have escalated, with Israel launching limited raids inside Lebanon and Hezbollah retaliating with rocket attacks. The enmity between the two groups dates back decades, with Hezbollah being an Iran-backed Lebanese militant group and political party that opposes Israel's presence in disputed border areas. Hezbollah has grown into a powerful military force with an arsenal of rockets and precision missiles. The group's influence in Lebanon is supported by its weaponry and the backing of many Lebanese Shi'ites. Israel has targeted Hezbollah in recent weeks, leading to increased airstrikes and rocket attacks.
