The Litani River has been an important boundary in international relations between Lebanon and Israel due to Hezbollah’s activity south of the river and near Lebanon’s border with Israel. According to UN Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Lebanon War, Hezbollah was supposed to withdraw north of the Litani River, but it did not. As tensions escalated in 2023 amid the Israel-Hamas War, Israel renewed its insistence that Hezbollah carry out that provision. When a conflict in September–November 2024 came to an end, the agreement for Hezbollah to withdraw north of the Litani River was renewed as was a withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon.
