A week ago Israeli soldier was snatched by Palestinean militants.
They never released him.
Couple days ago, two Israeli soldiers were snatched by Hezbollah radicals (Hezbollah's headquarters is in Lebanon).
So, they never released them either, after days of talking to them trying to get them released. Hezbollah said they would release the soldiers only if Israel released 1000 Islamic militants of Hezbollah/Hamas. Israel said no way. And they started dropping bombs on Lebanon because that is where the headquarters of Hezbollah is.

First the Palestinians captured an Israeli soldier this sparked the action in Gaza when the Palestinians would not release him. Than the Hezbollah decided that they would do one better and cross the border into Israel, effectively declaring war on Israel, to capture two Israeli solders. What it is, is that the Muslim extremists are growing bolder because of the US media fighting against our President and giving hope to the terrorist organizations. Look at the train bombings in downtown India.

They attacked Lebanon because their 2 soldiers were captured by the Hezbollah, a terrorist organization in Lebanon, which demanded that all middle eastern war prisoners be released in exchange for these 2 soldiers. Personally, I think this is a bit of an over-reaction on Israel's part. Hezbollah is not the Lebanese government, there is no reason to bomb Lebanese civilian structures like airports and cities.

Hezbollah, an extreme violent Muslim terrorist group, snuck in to Israel and kidnapped Israeli soldiers.
Hezbollah is based in Lebanon. So Israel is attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon. Lebanon responded by firing rockets at Israel.
It's a mess, and the world will remain a mess as long as so many countries harbor Muslim extremists and terrorist organizations.

Hezbollah, a Lebanese terrorist group, kidnapped some Israeli soldiers and fired a few rockets into Israel.
Israel responded by severely bombing Lebanon. Now most European leaders (France, Germany, Italy, etc.) are completely condemning Israel's actions.

Hezbollah learned from Hamas that kidnapping Israeli soldiers was a REALLY good way of getting Israel to go nuts.
Israel is spending a lot of its money on this little war, Hezbollah wins no matter what.
