In September and October 2025, the Israeli military carried out air and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) strikes against various regions in southern and eastern Lebanon. These attacks formed part of a series of systematic violations that continued despite the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Lebanon in November 2024.
Israeli military aircraft and UAVs targeted areas including Nabatieh, Sidon, Marjayoun, Bint Jbeil, and the Bekaa Valley. As a result of these attacks, numerous people were killed and injured, including Lebanese and Syrian civilians, and extensive material damage was inflicted. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that the strikes were particularly concentrated around Nabatieh and the Bekaa region.
Some of the attacks targeted industrial facilities, quarries, cement plants, and warehouses storing construction machinery, causing severe damage to the country’s production infrastructure. In an October statement, Lebanese President General Joseph Aoun stated that the attacks were aimed at undermining Lebanon’s economic recovery.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was directly targeted or caught near strike zones on several occasions during September and October 2025. On 3 October 2025, an Israeli munition landed just 20 meters from UNIFIL troops, an incident formally recorded as a violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.
Official records indicate that since the ceasefire came into effect, the Israeli military has committed over 4,300 violations of Lebanese territory, resulting in hundreds of civilian deaths and thousands of injuries.
On 8 October 2023, clashes erupted along the Israel-Lebanon border. Due to intensified fighting in September 2024, more than 4,000 people were killed and approximately 17,000 were injured. A ceasefire was declared between the parties in November 2024, under which the Israeli military was to withdraw from Lebanese territory and hostilities were to cease. Under United Nations supervision, a Committee to Monitor the Ceasefire was established, composed of representatives from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), Lebanon, Israel, France, and the United States.
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, adopted in 2006, served as the foundational basis for this agreement. The resolution called for a permanent ceasefire, prohibited the parties from possessing heavy weapons in border areas, and mandated the complete withdrawal of the Israeli military from Lebanese territory. As of 2025, the Israeli military continues to maintain its presence on five strategic hills it has seized in southern Lebanon.
