2006, July Israel fought Hizbullah in a month-long war that caused at least 1,100 Lebanese and 156 Israeli deaths. The conflict began when Hizbullah ambushed, killed and kidnapped members of a patrol on the Israeli side of the border. The official Israeli commission that investigated it said it ended without a 'defined military victory'.
