The Israeli army launched intense airstrikes on Lebanon on March 2 and occupied many towns in the south of the country. The Lebanese government had announced that the number of people displaced in the country due to the attacks had exceeded 1 million.

Diplomatic contacts were also conducted during this process. US President Donald Trump announced in a statement on April 24 that the 10-day temporary ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel, which went into effect on April 17, had been extended for another 3 weeks.
