• Israel’s blockade of Lebanon during the 2006 Lebanon War, Angelo Manioudakis September, 2010 The 2006 Lebanon War lasted from July 12, 2006 to August 14, 2006, during which time the Israeli military and the Hezbollah paramilitary engaged in on-the-ground and aerial warfare. During the month-long war, foreign nationals, tourists, and residents of Lebanon faced severe difficulty in leaving the barraged country. As part of the Israeli offensive on Lebanon, which followed the seizure of two Israeli Defense Force soldiers, Israel imposed both an air and naval blockade on Lebanon. Instituted by Israeli warships, Lebanese ports were shut down. Israeli military spokesmen defended the naval blockade as an attempt to prevent the transport of weapons funneled to Hezbollah. Following three missiles striking Beirut’s international airport, the country was forced to seal off any exit flights as well. While the United Nations-brokered ceasefire became effective on August 14, 2006, Israel did not formally lift its air and sea blockade of Lebanon until September 8, 2006. The then-U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, and then-United National Secretary General, Kofi Annan, assured Israel that it would monitor Lebanese ports to prevent the transfer of arms to the country, thereby replacing Israel as the principle patrol agent. The Israeli war and blockade on Lebanon had crippling economic effects on the country’s economy, and the lift of the barricade was essential to the country’s recovery.
