History

Historical Context

In July 2006 Hezbollah’s capture of Israeli soldiers triggered Israel’s massive campaign that hit more than 4,000 Lebanese targets and ended with UN Security Council Resolution 1701’s cease-fire on 14 August 2006. The cease-fire has been repeatedly breached, as seen in the 13 June 2026 Israeli airstrikes on Rihan, Sujud and Nabatieh villages, prompting renewed US, French and UN diplomatic pressure.
