Tensions between the two parties escalated following the Israeli bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1st, which killed at least 13 military personnel, including seven Revolutionary Guard fighters, one Iranian advisor, five Iran-backed militiamen and one Hezbollah fighter.

As a result, the Iran-backed militant group declared war against Israel.

Since the start of the year, Israel has carried out several assassinations and attacks targeting Hezbollah members, killing over 240 Lebanese militant fighters.
