Main article: 2006 Lebanon War See also: Military operations of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflictDuring the 2006 Lebanon War Hezbollah fired about 3,699 rockets into Israel, killing 44 civilians.
On August 6, 2006 (one week before the end of the conflict) Israeli officials believed that its operation destroyed the vast majority of Hezbollah's longer-range rockets and about a third of the shorter range Katyushas, but the group still has many Katyushas which are smaller and easier to hide or store underground, and can be set up and fired in a few minutes.
On August 13, 2006, the day before the negotiated ceasefire was to come into effect, Hezbollah launched its fiercest barrage, firing 250 rockets into Israel.
