Tuesday marks the first anniversary of the expansion of Israel's all-out war on Lebanon, which began on 23 September 2024, when the Israeli army launched large-scale attacks on the southern suburbs of Beirut, south Lebanon, and the Beqaa and Baalbek regions. Israel has also refused to withdraw from five occupied hill areas in southern Lebanon and has blocked the Lebanese army from deploying there. Between 23 September and 27 November 2024, Lebanon recorded 7,753 Israeli attacks, according to the National Council for Scientific Research. These targeted homes, schools, hospitals, ambulances, places of worship, archaeological sites, media offices, and even UNIFIL and Lebanese army positions. Israel must immediately allow safe return and provide prompt, full, and adequate reparations to all victims of war crimes," she added.
