Since then, the sides have traded accusations over violations, with Israel insisting that Hezbollah has worked to rearm itself.\n<\/p>\n Since the ceasefire, the IDF has killed around 400 operatives and struck hundreds of additional Hezbollah-linked targets. The IDF has repeatedly asserted that the activity at the targeted sites constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.<\/p>\n The conflict began on October 8, 2023, when Hezbollah started firing rockets and drones at northern Israel, one day after its fellow Iran-backed terror group Hamas launched a shock assault on southern Israel, sparking the war in Gaza.<\/p>\n Agencies and Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.<\/p>\n
