Israel claimed the strike was targeting 'key commanders' from Iran's Revolutionary Guards. The attack is part of a larger conflict that began when Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war after Iran-backed Hezbollah attacked Israel in response to the killing of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during US-Israeli strikes. Israel has continued to launch strikes on Hezbollah despite a 2024 ceasefire, including multiple waves of strikes across Lebanon and ground incursions into border areas.
