Timeline of the Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present)

This timeline of the Israel–Hezbollah conflict covers the period from 24 November 2023, when the first ceasefire between Israel and Hamas began, until 1 January 2024, one day prior to the assassination of Saleh al-Arouri.

Attacks from both sides began immediately after the ceasefire ended on 30 November 2023 and clashes continued throughout this period.

24 November — 30 November (ceasefire)

After the temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas on 24 November, Hezbollah stopped its military operations briefly which also prompted the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to stop the shelling on targets in southern Lebanon.[1] Many displaced civilians returned to their homes amid the calm.[2]

24 November

  • The IDF intercepted a surface-to-air missile fired at its aircraft in Lebanese territory.
  • Hezbollah claimed 23 other attacks into northern Israel.[3]

25 November

  • A UNIFIL patrol unit was hit by IDF gunfire in the vicinity of Aitaroun where there were no casualties. UNIFIL condemned the incident and called on parties to be reminded "of their obligations to protect peacekeepers and avoid putting the men and women who are working to restore stability at risk."[4]

28 November

  • An Israeli shell reportedly struck the outskirts of a town in southern Lebanon, though a spokesperson for the IDF said they were not aware of the incident.[5]
