Why did Hizballa attacked Israel?

Question

And why doesn't Lebanon goverment take responsibility for this attack which occured from its territory?

Answer 1

Hezbollah is an umbrella organization of radical Shiite group founded in early 1982 to combat Israeli, French and American troops in Lebanon. It is supported by Iran and Syria and located in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah are Shiite Muslims as are most Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians and some Yemenis, Pakistanis and Bahrainians. Diplomatic efforts are aimed at getting the Sunni Muslim countries to negotiate. This includes Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.

Hezbollah is not the government of Lebanon

Hezbollah's spiritual leader is Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, and its senior political leader is Hassan Nazrallah, who has held the title of secretary general since 1992. Its military arm is known as Islamic Resistance.

Hezbollah gained popular support by providing social services such as hospitals and schools for Lebanese Shiites. Hezbollah was able to step into the power breach created by Lebanon’s weak government. 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. Syria admits supporting Hezbollah, but denies arming the group.

Hezbollah’s official rhetoric calls for the destruction of Israel and its replacement with an Islamist Palestinian government. Initially, the group sought to replace Lebanon’s secular government with an Iranian-style Islamic government.

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.

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.

The first point to bear in mind is that the crisis did not truly begin with the capture of two Israeli soldiers (Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev) by Hezbollah's Operation True Promise . The kidnappings presented a serious problem for Israel, but could not, by themselves, define the geopolitical issue. That definition came when Hezbollah rockets struck Haifa, Israel's third-largest city, on July 13. There were also claims coming from Hezbollah, and confirmed by Israeli officials, that Hezbollah had missiles available that could reach Tel Aviv. Israel's population is concentrated in the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem corridor and in the Tel Aviv-Haifa corridor. In effect, Hezbollah had attained the ability to strike at the Israeli heartland. Hezbollah has been hitting the northern part of this heartland, as well as pounding Israel's northern frontier

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

Finally a question like this. Most people are just asking why is Israel attacking Lebanon and why is it attacking it the way it is.

Probably only Hezbollah and its supporters in Iran and Syria know why they did what they did after Israel's response to its soldier's kidnapping in Gaza. It was definitely a provocative move on the part of Hezbollah with a full awareness of what possibly lay ahead for it and Lebanon. Still it carried out the attacks and kidnapping.

Maybe war is what they want. And they got it.

Lebanon's government says it is too weak to resist Hezbollah's running the show in the South and wants international forces to drive out Hezbollah, purge Lebanon from Syrian and Iranian influence and help the Lebanse government establish its rule over the whole of Lebanon.

Answer 3

That's a really complex question.

Hezbollah is a political party in Lebanon. and it is an independant organization that gives money to schools, hopitals, etc.

Some of their members are extremists.

Lebanon is too weak (20 years of civil war) to get rid of Hezbollah.

Israel is in fear of a big attack, and instead of attacking Syria or other biger muslim countries, (where the Hezbollah's money comes from), they chose to attack Lebanon, because it has no real military forces.

For me, no one is right in this war. Lebanon could have asked UN to eradicate Hezbollah f his territory a few years ago.

And Israel could talk instead of kill...

Answer 4

Hezbollah reported each and every of the interest that Hamas were given for kidnapping one Israeli soldier ... so that they needed to get a number of the publicity for themselves. They were admittedly suprised that Israel reacted militarily. Hezbollah won't be able to be accused of being smart, pretty even as Israel advised them what might want to take position in the adventure that they did not go back both squaddies they abducted. That changed into as smart on Hezbollah's section as a bucket of hair. Dumb as a field of rocks. do not ever use Hezbollah and smart interior of a similar sentence. they're jointly unique words.

Answer 5

Hezbollah retailed against Israeli attacks, which have been planned a long time ago.

To get a full understanding, we have to go back a long time ago when the Israelis were expelled from 109 locations and the British mandate and Balfour declaration gave Israel a part of the Palestine land that was occupied by the British forces then.
http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/expelle...

The Israeli Zionists had their own agenda to attain their "promised land" - the land between the Al Forat & the Nile Rivers - and Israel began to invade parts of Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and more parts of Palestine.

In 1967 the UN passed resolution 242 calling for Israel to withdraw form the occupied Arab territories they have invaded & occupied during these wars.

During this time, Israel has been conducting ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians and is continuing to do so to this day as it is now doing to Lebanon as well. Have you heard of the Israeli Sabra & Shatila massacre in Lebanon or the Deir Yassin massacre in Palestine? Please read on:

The whole issue of the current abuse over Lebanon is not the issue Israeli soldiers. Israel provoked Hezbollah by crossing the Lebanese borders to aggravate matters and have Hezbollah retaliate. Lebanon is only a stepping-stone to reach Syria and Iran after Iraq has been totally destroyed and occupied by the US. (Israel was behind the Afghanistan / Iraqi wars).

For Israel to be able to fulfill its agenda, then it has to ensure that there are no powerful Arab / Muslim armies in the region except the Israeli army, which is backed up & fully equipped with US military weapons. Israel also has its own nuclear power station and nuclear warheads.

I have many sources to support all that I have said if you care to check them out yourself.

Israel throughout history has been conducting covert operations against the US (in particular) to set up the Arabs and begin wars with their neighboring Arab countries to achieve their cause / agenda.

From history, Israel did conduct attacks on the US harming and murdering US citizens trying to set up Arab countries in the process so that the US may start wars with these countries – Check the sources below: USS Liberty and the Lavon affair and others:

Israel occupying many Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanon lands, get thousands of prisoners from Lebanon and Palestine since 5 June 1967 till now.
Israel refused many U.N Decisions ( 242. .....) which order Israel to draw from lands which occupied since June 1967 but she refused till now.
What will Palestinians and Lebanon people do to get their rights ?
They try to take some Israelians prisoners to force Israel to free the prisoners she take and draw from occupied Lebanon lands.
However, whatever the power of U.S and her follower Israel, the power of God Justice still in hope.
