Lebanon and Israel are technically still at war after hostilities, led by Hezbollah on the Lebanese side, ended in the 2006 war. Unifil, the UN agency assigned to peacekeeping around the Israeli-Lebanese border, said it was in dialogue with all parties seeking to lower tensions.. “I am not expecting Hezbollah to try to enter Israel in a meaningful way. More likely was intended to establish deterrence against the possibility of Israeli strikes or operations in South Lebanon.”
