History

Historical Context

The 2006 Lebanon War began on 12 July 2006 when Hezbollah ambushed Israeli troops, prompting Israel’s ground invasion and a UN-brokered ceasefire on 14 August 2006. During that conflict Hezbollah launched roughly 4,000 rockets and Israel imposed an air-and-naval blockade. Today’s strikes on Tyre and Dahieh echo that same pattern of cross-border escalation and UN-mediated cease-fire attempts.
