Some military experts argue that this war, unlike previous conflicts, not only engaged the Israeli military but also deeply affected the Israeli public. Hezbollah's attacks on Israeli territory underscored the harsh reality that war could directly impact civilians, delivering a significant blow to national morale and shifting public perceptions of security in Israel. | Some military experts argue that this war, unlike previous conflicts, not only engaged the Israeli military but also deeply affected the Israeli public.

In the final days of the 33-day war, Israel aimed to secure a new resolution to bring the conflict to a close. Throughout the war, Israel dropped approximately 4.8 million cluster bombs, with 1.1 million of those used in just the last 72 hours. | |||
Ultimately, UN Security Council Resolution 1701 was unanimously adopted on August 12, 2006, to end the hostilities. The draft resolution was prepared by the United States and France, and military experts have noted that its content and tone were favorable to Israel. The resolution called for the establishment of a zone from the Israeli border to the Litani River, where both the Lebanese army and UN forces would be deployed. | |||
The war lasted 33 days, and after both sides accepted the resolution, it was agreed that a ceasefire would take effect at 8 a.m. on August 14, 2006, marking the 34th day of the conflict. | |||
