Israel–Lebanon Border Live Map 🟡

This Israel–Lebanon border map follows the confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah along the Blue Line, the UN-drawn withdrawal line that serves as the de facto border between the two countries. Exchanges of fire began on 8 October 2023, the day after the Hamas-led attack on Israel, escalated into open war in September 2024 and were followed by a ceasefire that took effect on 27 November 2024. Israeli strikes have continued to be reported since then. The map shows current reports from the border area on both sides, so readers can see what is happening along the frontier now and compare it with earlier phases.

Events concentrate in a strip on both sides of the Blue Line. On the Lebanese side this means the southern districts of Bint Jbeil, Marjayoun and Tyre and the area up to the Litani river; on the Israeli side, the Upper Galilee and border communities such as Metula and Kiryat Shmona, as well as the Golan Heights. After the ceasefire, Israel kept troops at several positions inside southern Lebanon beyond the early-2025 withdrawal deadline, and those locations remain recurring points on the map. UNIFIL peacekeeping positions lie along the same line. Strikes deeper inside the country, such as in the Bekaa Valley or Beirut, are covered in more detail on the Lebanon page.

Plotted events include Israeli airstrikes and drone strikes, artillery fire, Hezbollah rocket, anti-tank missile and drone launches reported during periods of active fire, ground incursions and demolitions near the border, evacuation warnings, incidents involving UNIFIL patrols, and deployments of the Lebanese Armed Forces south of the Litani under the ceasefire arrangement. Key moments of the 2024 escalation are part of the record: the pager and radio explosions of 17 and 18 September, the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on 27 September and the Israeli ground operation launched on 1 October. Each event has a timestamp, coordinates, a category and a link to its source.

Data comes from Israeli and Lebanese media, statements by the Israel Defense Forces, Hezbollah, the Lebanese army and government, UNIFIL communications, international news agencies and geolocated footage from social networks. The two sides often describe the same incident very differently: a target Israel calls a Hezbollah site may be reported in Lebanon as a civilian home. Each event is therefore shown as reported and attributed to its origin, not presented as verified fact. For colour grouping the map uses Israel versus Lebanon, with the Lebanese side reflecting Hezbollah as the main non-state actor in the area; this is a technical classification of reported actors, not a political statement.

The map takes no side; it records reported events, their location and their time. It is used by journalists, analysts, humanitarian organisations, researchers and people with family in the region who want one frequently updated picture of the Blue Line instead of following many separate channels. New events are added roughly every five minutes, every title is automatically translated into English, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian, and the free dashboard holds 30 days of history. The same data is available through the REST API at /v1/events?region=hezbollah with an API key, and civilian air and sea traffic in the eastern Mediterranean can be viewed on the /livemap/ tracker.
