Embedded with Israel IDF Soldiers operating in Lebanon Long Version - Part 1

IDF Soldiers operating in Lebanon during the 2006 Lebanon war searching for Hizballah terrorists.

The 2006 Lebanon War (or the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War and known in Lebanon as the July War and in Israel as the Second Lebanon War) was a 34-day military conflict in Lebanon, northern Israel and the Golan Heights. The conflict began when militants from the group Hezbollah fired rockets at Israeli border towns as a diversion for an anti-tank missile attack on two armored Humvees patrolling the Israeli side of the border fence. The ambush left three soldiers dead. Two additional soldiers, believed to have been killed outright or mortally wounded, were taken by Hezbollah to Lebanon. Five more were killed in a failed rescue attempt. On 11 August 2006, the United Nations Security Council unanimously approved UN Resolution 1701 to end the hostilities.
