History

Historical Context

The 2006 Lebanon War intensified Israeli-Hezbollah hostilities, resulting in over 1,000 Lebanese and 160 Israeli deaths. Despite UN Resolution 1701 calling for disarmament, Hezbollah maintained significant military capabilities, reportedly amassing 150,000 rockets by 2025. The fragile peace remains threatened by ongoing Israeli airstrikes, highlighting the complexities of U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region since the conflict's resurgence in 2023.
