Can anyone give me a short history as to the conflict and evacuation going on in Lebanon right now?

Answer 1

Short version:

Hezbollah and Hamas are terrorist organizations who have vowed for decades to wipe Israel off the face of the map.

Hamas killed and captured Israeli soldiers on one border. Israel responded. Hezbollah then killed and captured Israeli soldiers on the Lebanese border. Hezbollah operates completely unchecked in Lebanon because the Lebanese government and military aren't strong enough to stop them. So, Israel responded by attacking Hezbollah.

Hezbollah then started lobbing rockets and missiles into Israel, hitting Israeli towns and killing Israeli civilians. Israel responded by attacking Hezbollah encampments and destroying infrastructure, while making every effort to avoid Lebanese civilian casualties.

Hezbollah then started lobbing rockets from the middle of civilian settlements, while hiding behind civilian targets. Israel responded to these continued attacks, unfortunately inflicting some civilian casualties (despite actually warning the Lebanese civilians ahead of time to flee) because Hezbollah would not let the Lebanese civilians flee to safety. Hezbollah controls large sections of Lebanon, and there's very little the official Lebanese government can do about it.

Or the shorter version: Hezbollah attacked and continues to attack Israel. Hezbollah controls southern Lebanon. Israel continues to defend itself, by attacking Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

Answer 2

The current conflict began when Hezbollah, a Lebanese-based organization committed to Israel's destruction fired rockets Shelomi, an Israeli town (considered to be a diversion). At the same time, Hezbollah guerrilla fighters attacked an Israeli border patrol, killing three soldiers, wounding three more, and taking two others hostage.

Israel considered the attack to be an act of war by Hezbollah, and began bombing Hezbollah-related targets as well as infrastructure (specifically, the Beirut International Airport) in the capital and in southern Lebanon and began a full naval blockade of the Lebanese coast. Hezbollah has continued to attack Israeli cities with medium- and long-range rockets, and has partially disabled one Israeli warship. On Wednesday the 19th, Israel sent ground troops into Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah outposts.

Currently, at least six countries have begun evacuations of their nationals from Lebanon. Only Sweden has manged to evacuate all of its nationals from Lebanon -- many have been evacuated to Cyprus and are there awaiting fights to Europe.
