[OC] Over the past two decades, Lebanon has endured more than 70 attacks, from October 2004 to June 2024, targeting politicians, civil leaders, diplomats, shopping centers, cultural sites, and the US embassy. The human toll of these attacks is profound and far-reaching.
I’ve created an [interactive map](https://www.datawrapper.de/_/6DuEd/?v=3) from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_attacks_in_Lebanon) to visualize the impact of these events. This map highlights the number of casualties and injuries across various regions, with a particular focus on the Beirut and Tripoli metropolitan areas, which witnessed **35** and **8** attacks respectively.
These attacks were fueled by a complex mix of political, sectarian, and regional tensions. Lebanon’s internal divisions, militant activities, and external influences have all contributed to the ongoing instability and violence.
This visualization serves as a powerful reminder of the deep scars left on the Lebanese people. Behind each point on the map are lives lost and communities forever changed.
I’d appreciate your thoughts on this, or if you have any additional context to share about these events.
