Historical Context

The 2006 Lebanon War, lasting from July 12 to August 14, resulted in over 1,000 Lebanese and 160 Israeli deaths, following Hezbollah's ambush of Israeli soldiers. The conflict prompted UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which aimed to establish peacekeeping forces and disarm Hezbollah. Current tensions reflect this history, as Lebanon's Prime Minister seeks negotiations with Israel to address Hezbollah's influence and pursue normalization.
