Answer 1

The war began at Hezbollah's time and choosing. Military analysts say that the way the Israel-Hezbollah war has been prosecuted up until Monday, July 24, is more likely to bring Nassrallah closer to his war objectives than Olmert.

When Syria withdrew its troops from Lebanon, Hezbollah could operate freely because of the weak Lebanese secular government. Hezbollah was able to step into the power breach.

Hezbollah has pursued a political and religious agenda that centers on the destruction of Israel and opposition to the United States and has been carried out through terrorism against Israeli and Western targets. (In 1983 Hezbollah killed 241 US marines in Beirut.)

Hezbollah gained popular support by providing social services such as hospitals and schools for Lebanese Shiites. Hezbollah’s official rhetoric calls for the destruction of Israel and its replacement of the Lebanese govenrment with an Iranian-style Islamic government based on Sharia law.

Hezbollah maximizes Israeli civilian casualties when they launch Syrian and Iranian designed antipersonnel missiles with ball-bearing shrapnel. Furthermore, in Lebanon, Hezbollah deliberately operates military wings out of densely populated areas to maximize Lebanese casualties. It seems that Hezbollah wants to maximize civilian casualties on BOTH sides.

According to reports, Hezbollah forces are dispersed in multiple bunker complexes and are launching rockets from these and other locations. Hezbollah strategy is to draw Israeli troops as deeply into Lebanon as possible, forcing them to fight on extended supply lines. Hezbollah's will tie down the Israelis as long as possible first in the area south of the Litani River and then north in the Bekaa. It can, and will, continue to rocket Haifa from further north. It will inflict casualties and draw the Israelis further north. At a certain point Hezbollah will suddenly abandon the conventional fight, going to ground, and then re-emerge as a guerrilla group, inflicting casualties on the Israelis wearing them down.

In order to destroy Hezbollah's infrastructure, Israeli troops must move into the Bekaa Valley and as far as the southern suburbs of Beirut. Israeli forces have pushed forward from the mountaintop village of Maroun er Ras captured Sunday to the fringes of Bint Jubeil, Hizballah’s south Lebanese capital.

In a military engagement just over the border of Lebanon Israeli soldiers of the Egoz regiment discovered one of the many fortified bunkers holding the large arsenal of missiles currently raining upon Israeli towns in the North. Hezbollah is using Viet Cong-style guerrilla warfare out of hundreds of small bunkers scattered across the country. In addition, Hezbollah borrowed camouflage techniques that the Japanese used in the 1945 Iwo Jima battle. In the first ten days of the war, therefore, the Israeli air force bombed out empty Hizballah premises in South Beirut and Baalbek, but missed the moving woods and vegetation which concealed the rocket launchers.

Hezbollah rockets struck Haifa, Israel's third-largest city, on July 13. On July 17 Hezbollah used an Iran-made radar-guided C-802 shore-to-sea missile of the Silkworm family to disable the Israeli state-of-the-art warship,Ahi-Hanit, which was shelling Beirut airport.

Hezbollah has indicated that it will bombard Tel-Aviv, Israel with 500 missiles. So far, Hezbollah has used Kassam and Ketuysha rockets. It has not used the Zelzal or Fajr missiles, yet which have longer range.

What Hezbollah wants is political power in Lebanon and among the Palestinians, and freedom for action within the context of
Syrian-Iranian relations. This war will cost it dearly, but it has
been preparing for this for a generation. If it can avoid utter calamity, it will have won -- if not by defeating Israel, then by putting itself first among the anti-Israeli forces. It opposes Israel and is the most effective force fighting it. Hezbollah's job is to survive and hurt Israel and the IDF as long as possible. That is what this war is about for Hezbollah.

Nasrallah has already struck the pose of victor and is dictating terms. Monday, July 24, he handed the Lebanese government a list of the prisoners in Israeli jails whom he wants released as the price for returning the kidnapped Israeli soldiers, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev. He has not budged an inch from his initial demand for their release: indirect negotiations for a prisoner swap.

The United Nations has called for a ceasefire and wishes to oversee the peace.

Answer 2

If Hezbollah had the superior power, they would be a legimate government. They should and would be in place to be answerable for any actions that they do.

There won't be any incident such as like what is currently going on in that area. Israel will have to think twice before incarcerating Lebanese without charge, and if they did, they will probably try diplomacy rather than striking Hezbollah's country.

Answer 3

If Hezbollah had the superior power and were allowed to use it as Israel is being allowed to, they would fight this 'war' just as badly.
In the UK we do not target civilians nor do we indiscriminately shell areas where civilians are suspected to be. We are not America.
In Afghanistan we had a UN mandate to begin the invasion. We are now part of a NATO led UN peace-keeping force. If you had said Iraq, you might have had an argument (although the people of Basra aren't protesting very hard).

Answer 4

Wars are not won by worrying about civilians that are complicit or part of a country that is complicit in supporting murderous organizations such as Hezzbolah. The war would have to fought in the same way only it would be more difficult. Israel is the righteous one in its fight. Hezzbolah could never have superior power, since it disrespects the source and means of power.

Answer 5

relies upon on your perspective. sort an aggressor it's going to be for oil and so on (materials) or land and political skill. from a defenders it's going to be to combat to quit aggressor so will eb battling for peace. in considerable all wars are for benefit with exception of the place a third occasion eg UN steps in to quit combatants via turning out to be a stress between them . as UN very not often fires a weapon it it greater of a political stress and makes use of financial and different potential to realize its purpose so hence it particularly is argued it fairly is battling a conflict for peace. base line= maximum wars (approx ninety 9%) are fought for skill ( benefit)

Answer 6

If the arabs had the power all the jews would be dead and the us would be having a war like in iraq with hazbollah and many other crazy muslims. I dont think all muslims r crazy just the ones who kill people

Answer 7
