History

Historical Context

The Second Lebanon War in 2006 resulted in over 1,200 Lebanese and 160 Israeli deaths, underscoring persistent regional tensions. United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 sought to establish a ceasefire, yet recent Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah in southern Lebanon threaten this fragile peace. Continued military actions risk destabilizing the region and complicating diplomatic efforts to resolve the longstanding Israel-Lebanon conflict.
