History

Historical Context

Israel’s July 2024 airstrikes on Nabatieh echo the 34-day 2006 Lebanon War that began on 12 July 2006 when Hezbollah seized two Israeli soldiers. UN Security Council Resolution 1701, adopted 11 August 2006, called for Israeli withdrawal, Lebanese army deployment and an enlarged UNIFIL force of about 12,000 troops. The unresolved disarmament of Hezbollah fuels repeated cross-border clashes.
