History

Historical Context

In July 2006 Israel launched a land-and-sea blockade and air campaign against Hezbollah, prompting a UN-brokered ceasefire that still sees frequent violations. The war displaced roughly 300,000 Israelis and caused about 4,000 Hezbollah rockets to strike the north. The unresolved hostility resurfaced in the 2026 Trump-mediated ceasefire, which has already failed to halt drone strikes on Lebanese civilians.
