History

Historical Context

In 2006 Israel and Hezbollah fought a war that ended when the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1701 on 11 August, deploying about 15,000 UNIFIL troops and prompting Israel’s withdrawal from 13 Lebanese towns. The ceasefire left 1,200 Lebanese civilians dead and failed to fully disarm Hezbollah, a gap that today fuels Israel’s evacuation orders for seven southern towns and Hezbollah’s denunciation of the truce.
