2024
2024 was a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2024th year of the Common Era and Anno Domini designations, the 24th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 5th year of the 2020s decade. The year saw the continuation of major armed conflicts, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Myanmar civil war, the Sudanese civil war, and the Islamist insurgency in the Sahel. In November, heavy fighting resumed in the Syrian civil war, leading to the toppling of Ba'athist Syria, with Bashar al-Assad leaving Syria in December. Israel's war on Gaza also led to spillover conflicts into numerous countries, most notably Lebanon, which was invaded by Israel in October. This followed an intensification of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Wikipedia
