Hezbollah (Lebanon): Difference between revisions

In 2006, a war broke out between Hezbollah and Israel, which became known as the July War or the 33-day war. Despite its agreement with Hezbollah, Israel failed to release its three prisoners as promised. As a result, in July 2006, Hezbollah conducted the al-Wa'd al-Sadiq (True Promise) operation and captured two Israeli military members. In an attempt to secure the release of its prisoners and disarm Hezbollah, Israel launched an attack on Lebanon, triggering a full-scale war between the two parties. The conflict lasted for 33 days. On the morning of the 34th day, August 14, 2006, a ceasefire was implemented in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.

On July 25, 1993, Israel launched an attack on Lebanon with the objective of disarming Hezbollah and creating divisions between Hezbollah and the Lebanese population. The aim was to exert pressure on the Lebanese government in order to suppress Hezbollah's resistance activities. However, this attack elicited a response from Hezbollah. On July 31, 1993, Israel and Hezbollah reached an agreement known as the July Memorandum of Understanding. According to this agreement, Hezbollah committed to refraining from launching Katyusha missiles towards the occupied territories of Palestine. In return, Israel agreed to cease its aggressive actions.
