The 2006 Lebanon War, lasting from July 12 to August 14, resulted from escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, following Hezbollah's ambush of Israeli soldiers. The conflict caused over 1,000 Lebanese and 160 Israeli deaths, leading to UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which called for a ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal.
