History

Historical Context

Hezbollah ambushed Israeli troops on 12 July 2006, prompting Israel to launch airstrikes while Hezbollah fired close to 4,000 rockets in a 34-day war that ended with UN Resolution 1701 on 11 August 2006, which called for Hezbollah disarmament and a UNIFIL buffer. In May 2026 the IDF struck Dawhat Kfar Rumman and nearby villages, echoing the same retaliatory cycle.
