In 2006, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1701 to end the conflict between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group. The resolution aimed to establish lasting security along the border, but its terms were never fully enforced, leading to renewed efforts to implement it in the recent U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal.
Resolution 1701 required Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon and Hezbollah to move north of the Litani River, with U.N. peacekeepers and the Lebanese military ensuring stability in the region. However, over the years, both sides have accused each other of violations, hindering the resolution's full implementation.
