In 2006, the Israeli regime launched a military attack against Lebanon. Israel’s purpose in this attack was to destroy Hezbollah and change the composition of Lebanon's population.
Israel killed more than one thousand Lebanese citizens. 30% of the victims were children.
Hezbollah retaliated to defend the Lebanese people, and they inflicted heavy damages on Israel:
- Economic damage: $ 3.5 billion
- Damage to the Chamber of Commerce: $ 1.4 billion
- One fourth of jobs experienced the risk of bankruptcy
- Number of soldiers killed: 121
- Number of soldiers wounded: 1,244
- More than 4,000 missiles struck the occupied territories
- 20 Merkava tanks were destroyed
- One Sa'ar 5-class corvette was sunk
- One helicopter was shot down
- The decades-long myth of the Zionist regime's invincibility was shattered
- After 33 days, the Zionist regime requested a ceasefire in complete humiliation
