History

Historical Context

The Second Lebanon War in 2006 marked a significant escalation in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which had been building military capabilities in southern Lebanon since 2000. Despite UN Resolution 1701 calling for Hezbollah's disarmament, the group has reportedly strengthened its arsenal, now estimated at 40,000 to 120,000 rockets, perpetuating regional instability and ongoing tensions in Lebanon.
