History

Historical Context

The 2006 Lebanon War, lasting from July 12 to August 14, involved intense conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, following Hezbollah's ambush of Israeli soldiers. The war resulted in over 1,000 Israeli airstrikes and significant civilian casualties, with approximately 1,300 Lebanese deaths.
