History

Historical Context

The Israeli-Lebanese conflict has deep roots, with significant escalations occurring since Israel's invasions of Lebanon in 1978 and 1982, aimed at countering Palestinian attacks. The 2006 Lebanon War, sparked by Hezbollah's abduction of Israeli soldiers, resulted in over 1,200 Lebanese and 160 Israeli deaths, displacing around 1 million people. Ongoing territorial tensions, exemplified by the establishment of a "Yellow Line," reflect a troubling continuation of this historical conflict.
