A history of Israel’s invasions of Lebanon
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun vowed to end Israel's occupation of south Lebanon, amid a recent ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump. Israel has a history of invasions in Lebanon, including a large-scale air campaign and ground invasion that killed over 2,290 people and displaced 1.2 million.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said he was prepared to take action to end Israel's occupation of south Lebanon. A recent ceasefire, brokered by US President Donald Trump, paused six weeks of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. Israel's military campaign in Lebanon killed over 2,290 people, wounded 7,500, and displaced 1.2 million. Israeli forces have occupied southern Lebanon before, including in 1948-1949, when they occupied 15 villages and carried out a massacre in Hula. Israel withdrew under a UN-brokered armistice agreement in 1949. Israeli forces currently remain in Lebanon, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating they will not leave a 'security buffer zone' they have established.
