History

Historical Context

Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon aimed to dismantle the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), resulting in over 17,000 Lebanese civilian deaths. This conflict laid the groundwork for ongoing tensions, as seen in the 2006 Lebanon War, where 1,191 Lebanese and 160 Israelis died. Current airstrikes against Hezbollah and Hamas reflect Israel's enduring security concerns in Lebanon and Gaza, highlighting the region's persistent instability.
