History

Historical Context

On 12 July 2006 Hezbollah ambushed Israeli troops, sparking the 34-day 2006 Lebanon War in which Hezbollah launched roughly 4,000 rockets and Israel responded with massive air and ground attacks. The UN-brokered ceasefire and Resolution 1701 sought to curb such exchanges, but today Hezbollah’s fiber-optic-guided drones targeting Tyre’s Hiram Hospital echo the same civilian-risk pattern.
