History

Historical Context

The 1982 Lebanon War began on June 6, when Israel invaded Lebanon to expel the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) amid escalating violence. This conflict resulted in over 17,000 civilian deaths and the emergence of Hezbollah, which formed in response to Israeli occupation. The ongoing violence reflects the region's instability, echoing current humanitarian crises and calls for negotiations, similar to President Joseph Aoun's recent proposals.
