2023 Israel-Hezbollah Conflict: Weapons and Equipment

Cross-border and southern Lebanon fighting between Israel and Hezbollah after the October 2023 Gaza war widened into sustained exchanges, Israeli operations in Lebanon, ceasefire attempts, and renewed clashes.

The 2023 Israel-Hezbollah Conflict catalog covers the post-October 2023 escalation along the Lebanon-Israel border, where Hezbollah attacks, Israeli air and artillery strikes, and later Israeli ground operations turned a limited border confrontation into a wider southern Lebanon campaign. The November 2024 cessation of hostilities shifted the conflict toward implementation of UNSCR 1701, Lebanese Armed Forces deployment, Israeli withdrawal issues, and continued monitoring of violations, renewed strikes, and later FPV-drone adaptation.

This catalog tracks weapon systems documented in the Israel-Hezbollah fighting that escalated after October 2023.

Entries focus on source-backed equipment use by Israel or Hezbollah across the Lebanon-Israel border and in southern Lebanon.

The catalog is currently narrow and should not be treated as a complete order of battle. The connected weapon entry documents Hezbollah use of fiber-optic FPV drones in southern Lebanon and northern Israel, while conflict-level sources show the broader equipment environment includes rockets, UAVs, anti-tank guided missiles, air defense, tunnels, launch infrastructure, Israeli airpower, artillery, and ground maneuver. Claims from battlefield videos, official military statements, and party media need system-specific corroboration before being attached to weapon entries.

Timeline

Key Events

  1. Cross-border hostilities begin

    UNIFIL reported rockets fired from southeast Lebanon toward Israeli-occupied territory and Israeli return fire, opening the sustained post-October 7 Israel-Hezbollah border confrontation.

    Sources: UNIFIL Rocket and Return Fire Statement, CSIS Escalating to War

  2. Operation Northern Arrows expands the air campaign

    Israel announced Operation Northern Arrows and began a broader campaign against Hezbollah launch sites, weapons depots, and command centers as the fighting expanded deeper into Lebanon.

  3. Hassan Nasrallah killed in Beirut strike

    Hezbollah confirmed that secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut's southern suburbs, marking a major leadership blow during the escalation.

    Sources: AP Nasrallah Killed, CSIS Escalating to War, IDF Northern Front Timeline

  4. Israeli ground operations start in southern Lebanon

    The IDF said it began limited, localized, intelligence-based ground operations in southern Lebanon aimed at pushing Hezbollah infrastructure away from the border and enforcing Resolution 1701.

    Sources: IDF Operation Northern Arrows Timeline, CRS Israel Major Issues and U.S. Relations

  5. Cessation of hostilities takes effect

    The U.S.- and France-backed arrangement set a 4 a.m. start for the cessation of hostilities and linked the deal to implementation of UNSCR 1701 and Lebanese state control of arms in the southern Litani area.

    Sources: Israel-Lebanon Cessation of Hostilities Text, UN Geneva Withdrawal Update

  6. UN calls for withdrawal and LAF deployment

    UN officials said Israeli operations north of the Blue Line continued and urged timely Israeli withdrawal, Lebanese Armed Forces deployment, and full implementation of Resolution 1701.

    Sources: UN Geneva Withdrawal Update

  7. Fiber-optic FPV drones appear in the renewed fighting

    AP reported a fiber-optic drone from Lebanon found in Kiryat Shmona, while later reporting described Hezbollah FPV strike drones being used against Israeli soldiers and vehicles in southern Lebanon and northern Israel.

Phases

Oct 8, 2023 - Sep 22, 2024

Border war of attrition

The conflict centered on the Blue Line and nearby areas, with repeated Hezbollah rockets, drones, anti-tank missiles, and other standoff attacks met by Israeli artillery, airstrikes, and targeted strikes.

Sep 23, 2024 - Sep 29, 2024

Expanded air campaign and leadership strikes

Israel's Operation Northern Arrows expanded the geographic reach and tempo of strikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, the Bekaa, and Beirut-area strongholds, culminating in the killing of Hassan Nasrallah.

Sep 30, 2024 - Nov 26, 2024

Southern Lebanon ground operations

Israeli forces conducted ground operations in southern Lebanon while air and artillery strikes continued, with both sides emphasizing launch infrastructure, tunnels, command sites, anti-tank positions, and border security.

Nov 27, 2024 - Mar 1, 2026

Cessation framework and implementation disputes

The ceasefire arrangement shifted the conflict toward LAF deployment, UNIFIL monitoring, Israeli withdrawal questions, Hezbollah armed-presence issues south of the Litani River, and continuing allegations of violations.

Mar 2, 2026 - present

Renewed fighting and FPV-drone adaptation

Renewed fighting brought greater public documentation of Hezbollah fiber-optic FPV strike drones, local drone production claims, Israeli counter-drone efforts, and continued Israeli operations against Hezbollah drone and weapons infrastructure.

External Support

Iran is the central outside supplier context for Hezbollah: CSIS describes Iran's long-running funding, training, weapons, and strategic guidance to the group and links Iranian assistance to Hezbollah's large rocket, missile, and UAV arsenal. Israel's operations relied on its established U.S.-backed military relationship and air-defense ecosystem; CRS notes U.S. support for dismantling Hezbollah attack infrastructure while warning against a larger Lebanon war. The November 2024 cessation text also placed the United States and France in a monitoring and support role for implementation of UNSCR 1701, Lebanese Armed Forces deployment, and arms-control measures in southern Lebanon.

The catalog entry treats mortars as a broad weapon class because the direct conflict sources usually document mortar use without identifying exact calibers or models, including Philippine government support fires at Marawi, Hezbollah fire at Mount Dov, jihadist attacks in Mali and Sinai, FARC dissident improvised mortars in Colombia, 2023 Sudan War battlefield use, and Cambodia-accused cross-border fire.
