A Unique View Inside a Soldier's Mind The 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, known in Israel as the Second Lebanon War, was a military conflict in Lebanon and northern Israel, primarily between Hezbollah paramilitary forces and the Israeli military. It started on July 12, 2006, and continued until a United Nations-brokered ceasefire went into effect on August 14, 2006, though it formally ended on September 8, 2006, when Israel lifted their naval blockade of Lebanon.

The conflict began when Hezbollah fired Katyusha rockets and mortars at Israeli military positions and border villages, diverting attention from another Hezbollah unit that crossed the border and kidnapped two Israeli soldiers (Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev) and killed three others. From July 12 until August 14, when the cease-fire went into effect, 43 Israeli civilians and 117 IDF soldiers were killed.

Thousands of reservists from the Israel Defense Forces were called to duty in Lebanon to fight Hezbollah. 1rst Staff Sergeant, Liron Erel was just one of those called to duty. His photographs of soldiers (and accompanying stories) give a different perspective of the conflict.
