The complex relations and conflicts between Lebanon, Israel, Hezbollah, and Beirut are deeply rooted in decades of political, territorial, and religious disputes. The creation of Israel in 1948 sparked numerous clashes, with Lebanon joining Arab states in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The rise of Hezbollah in the 1980s, supported by Iran, marked a significant shift, as this Shiite militant group and political party aimed to resist Israeli occupation. Major conflicts, such as the 1982 Lebanon War and the 2006 Lebanon War, resulted in significant destruction, particularly in Beirut, and caused numerous civilian casualties.

Recent events in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have further escalated tensions between Israel, Iran, and Lebanon. Hezbollah’s alignment with the Palestinian cause and its Iranian backing have led to increased Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon and Syria, targeting Hezbollah positions. Beirut remains a focal point of these tensions, reflecting Lebanon's chronic instability. The border between Lebanon and Israel remains a flashpoint, with Hezbollah's significant military arsenal viewed as a direct threat by Israel, complicating the already volatile regional geopolitics.
