WAR OF LEBANO-ISRAEL
The hostilities on the Israeli-Lebanese border started on 12 July, 2006 when Hizbollah, launched several rockets towards Israel’s territory, crossed the border into Israel andattacked an Israeli patrol, capturing two soldiers, and killing three (UNIFIL). In response to the attack, Israel launched a number of artillery and air strikes on targets across southern Lebanon,destroying bridges, highways, and airports. Hizbollah responded by launching rockets against northern Israeli cities and Israel followed with a full ground offensive of southern Lebanon (“TheIsrael-Lebanon Crisis”).

The conflict caused tremendous damage to Lebanon’s infrastructure. As a result of Israeli bombing, 80 bridges, 900 factories and commercial buildings, airports and an...
