WAR

The 2006 Lebanon War began on July 12 when Hezbollah attacked an Israeli patrol. Israel responded with airstrikes and a ground invasion. The war ended with a ceasefire on August 14, after causing 1,200 Lebanese and 160 Israeli deaths. Hezbollah claimed victory, while Israel faced criticism.

HOW WE WON

In the 2006 Lebanon War, Hezbollah was able to withstand Israel’s military assault, inflict significant damage, and maintain control of southern Lebanon. Despite heavy destruction, Hezbollah’s resilience and successful rocket attacks on Israel boosted its reputation as a defender of Lebanon, gaining support across the Arab world.
