History

Historical Context

The 2006 Lebanon War, lasting from July 12 to August 14, resulted from Hezbollah's cross-border attacks, killing over 1,000 Lebanese and 160 Israelis. This conflict marked Israel's third invasion of Lebanon since 1978 and led to significant destruction in Lebanon. Current tensions reflect this history, as Israel continues to target Hezbollah infrastructure amid ongoing U.S. mediation efforts for peace.
