The
2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict is a series of ongoing military actions and clashes in northern Israel and Lebanon involving
Hezbollah's armed wing and the
Israel Defense Forces (IDF). On 12 July 2006 Hezbollah initiated
Operation Truthful Promise, named for a "promise" by its leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah to capture Israeli soldriers and swap them for the remaining three Lebanese prisoners held by Israel. The early morning raid into Israeli territory resulted in eight Israeli soldiers killed and two captured. Israel then responded with
Operation Just Reward, later renamed
Operation Change of Direction. This retaliatory strike has thus far encompassed a barrage of rockets fired into Lebanon and bombing raids by the Israeli Air Force (IAF), an Air and Naval blockade as well as some small raids into southern Lebanon by IDF ground troops. Read more
