Israeli–Lebanese Conflict | GAI God Me

The Israeli–Lebanese conflict is a protracted and multifaceted struggle primarily between Israel and various Lebanese factions, most notably [[Hezbollah|Hezbollah]]. Its roots trace back to the aftermath of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, with the influx of Palestinian refugees into Lebanon significantly altering the regional dynamics. The conflict escalated dramatically during the Lebanese Civil War, leading to Israeli interventions in 1978 and 1982. Israel maintained a presence in southern Lebanon until 2000, engaging in a protracted guerrilla war. The 2006 Lebanon War, triggered by Hezbollah attacks, marked another major escalation. A new phase of intense conflict commenced in late 2023, culminating in a significant Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 2024, reigniting long-standing tensions and raising concerns about regional stability. This enduring conflict has profoundly impacted the demographics, politics, and security of both nations, with spillover effects felt across the Middle East.
