1683: Rainbow of Rockets
History of Israel-Hezbollah Wars, Rainbow of Rockets
NPR's Greg Myrie provides a historical overview of the 1996 and 2006 wars between Israel and Hezbollah. He describes the "rainbow of rockets" that characterized the 2006 conflict and warns that a third war would be exponentially more destructive. Analysts suggest that a ceasefire in Gaza is the only likely path to preventing a full-scale second front in Lebanon.
