Israeli soldiers fire artillery from a position along the border into Lebanon in July 2006. In July 2006, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched attacks into southern Lebanon after Hezbollah militants crossed into Israel, killing three Israeli soldiers and kidnapping two. The summer conflict killed close to 1,500 people , most of whom were Lebanese civilians, and displaced nearly a million Lebanese and 300,000 Israelis.
