The term "Lebanon Wars" generally refers to a series of conflicts involving Lebanon, Israel, and various militant groups, primarily during the late 20th century. The most notable of these conflicts include the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990) and the Israeli invasions of Lebanon in 1978 and 1982. These wars were marked by complex political and sectarian tensions within Lebanon, as well as regional dynamics involving neighboring countries. The 1982 invasion aimed to expel the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) from Lebanon and led to significant military engagements. The aftermath saw the rise of various factions, including Hezbollah, which emerged as a key player in Lebanese politics and resistance against Israeli presence. The conflicts have had lasting impacts on Lebanon's social fabric and regional stability.
