History

Historical Context

The US-brokered ceasefire on November 27, 2024, aimed to stabilize tensions between Israel and Hezbollah after a year of conflict ignited by Hezbollah's attacks on October 8, 2023, in solidarity with Hamas. The 2006 Lebanon War had already strained relations, resulting in over 1,000 Lebanese deaths. Continued violations of the ceasefire threaten to escalate hostilities and destabilize the region further.
