On April 24, 2023, Israel's military announced it had targeted a Hezbollah missile launcher in Lebanon that had previously fired rockets into Israel. This incident occurred shortly after former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon had been extended by three weeks. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the initial attack, which was in retaliation for an Israeli strike on the Lebanese village of Yater, where two people, including a child, were reported wounded due to Israeli artillery shelling. Additionally, an Israeli airstrike in the northern region of Nabatieh resulted in the deaths of three individuals. The Israeli military stated that these individuals were militants who had launched a missile at an Israeli warplane.
