History

Historical Context

Israel’s September 2026 strikes on Marjayoun echo the 34-day 2006 Lebanon War that began on 12 July 2006 when Hezbollah ambushed Israeli soldiers, prompting extensive Israeli airstrikes and a UN-brokered cease-fire under Resolution 1701. The 2006 conflict killed 1,191 Lebanese civilians, and the unresolved cease-fire dynamics have fueled repeated ambulance assaults cited by Health Minister Ghassan Hasbani.
