Resolves YES if formal declaration of war on Lebanon or Hezbollah, announcement or commencement of ground operations into Lebanon to combat Hezbollah, or significant escalation in rocket and artillery fire exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah occur before January 1, 2025. The conflict began in October 2023 following the Hamas attack on Israel and has since escalated with both sides exchanging fire. Death tolls from 1000 or more are counted towards the resolution, including both combatant and non-combatant fatalities. The threshold of 1000 deaths will be met if credible sources report this number between October 12, 2023, and January 1, 2025. The question will resolve as YES if there is clear evidence of a significant escalation or outbreak of hostilities before the specified date.
