Lebanon Reconstruction

In July 2006, Israel attacked Lebanon in an attempt to weaken Hezballah and push it North of the Litani River, creating a buffer zone along Israel's northern border. Israeli warplanes pounded Lebanon from the air, dropping 5,000 bombs a day for 33 days. 130,000 homes were destroyed and over 1 million refugees created, but Israeli ground troops took heavy casualties and were unable to reach the Litani River.
