History

Historical Context

The 2006 Lebanon War, lasting from July 12 to August 14, resulted from Hezbollah's cross-border attacks, leading to significant casualties and infrastructure damage. Following the conflict, the UN deployed over 15,000 peacekeepers to monitor the ceasefire established by Resolution 1701. Recent Israeli airstrikes, marking the war's anniversary, highlight ongoing tensions, as Hezbollah reportedly lost 80% of its operational capacity since then.
