History

Historical Context

The 2006 Lebanon War began on July 12, when Hezbollah ambushed Israeli soldiers, leading to a 34-day conflict that resulted in over 1,200 Lebanese and 160 Israeli deaths. The war marked Israel's third invasion of Lebanon since 1978 and ended with UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which called for a ceasefire and the disarmament of Hezbollah. Ongoing tensions reflect unresolved territorial disputes and ceasefire violations.
