The 2006 Lebanon war began in July after Hezbollah’s cross-border attack and the capture of Israeli soldiers. It lasted about a month and ended with a ceasefire under UN Security Council Resolution 1701 in August.
Israel’s government appointed a commission, known as the Winograd Commission, to review the conduct of the war. Military analysts have studied topics such as the use of air power, ground operations, rocket threats, and civilian harm.
As with any war, interpretations differ, and readers should compare official reports with independent research.
