Since 2005, 2005–2025

This chronology follows Lebanon from the assassination of Rafic Hariri on 14 February 2005 to 26 January 2025. Hariri's killing brought hundreds of thousands into the streets on 8 and 14 March 2005 and ended twenty-nine years of Syrian military presence on 26 April, but a wave of assassinations of journalists, deputies and officers followed, together with a UN investigation and, from 2009, a Special Tribunal. The war between Israel and Hezbollah from 12 July to 14 August 2006 is marked here only by its first day, Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire: the war's days are in 111101's July 2006 section. Political deadlock, the Nahr al-Bared battle of 2007, the fighting of May 2008, the spillover of the Syrian war, with bombings and well over a million refugees, then the garbage protests of 2015, the 17 October 2019 uprising, the financial collapse and the port explosion of 4 August 2020 fill the following years. The 2023-2024 war, from the 'support front' of 8 October 2023 to the ceasefire of 27 November 2024, was followed by the fall of the Assad regime and the election of Joseph Aoun.
