Hezbollah is the militant palestinian group at war with Israel. They are centered in Lebanon and sponsored by Syria and Iran. They have infiltrated the Lebanese government and fortified their positions over the last decade, especially after Israel pulled out of Lebanon 6 years ago.

Hezbollah ( a terrorist organization not a country ) started using Lebanon as a base captured Israeli soldiers and started shooting missiles, bombs into Isreal, Isreal is defending itself, shooting back to try to hit Hezbollah, Lebanon unfortunately is just the spot the terrorists are right now. Iran and Syria both financially and verbally support Hezbollah and may enter the war.

This is a very complex issue and could be the subject of many many books. Basically (very very basically) Lebanon and Israel are fighting (again, the reason is a moot point) , Sierra has "peace keepers" inside Lebanon (not that they do much) and Iran is sorta friendly with Sierra (friendly in the manor of "we both hate Israel") The whole region over there is a rats nest of intolerance/religious hate/dictators/kings/ignorant people/political groups all aiming to achieve dominance over that whole region.

Israel and Palestine are not at war. Israel is attacking a terrorist organisation (Hamas) in Palestine.
Israel and Lebanon are not at war. Israel is attacking a terrorist organisation (Hezbollah) in Lebanon.
Iran and Syria are supporting these terror groups with weapons.

Are you asking approximately the bodily elements, or approximately the nation borders? You must notice that over time and centuries quite a lot of companies have invaded and occupied quite a lot of ingredients of the Middle East to the level that no organization can potentially declare "possession" of any specified facet as from "time immemorial". Come to suppose of it, that applies to the various global.

Gee I don't know, but I think the Israelies are doing our dirty work, while Hamas & hezbollah are doing the dirty work of Syria and Iran, and while they are at it, maybe the Israelies can also solve our little nuclear problem with Iran.
Does that make sense?

it is really sad to read some of the answers to your question. Israel is occupying both Lebanese and Palestinian and Syrian lands. Is it terrorism to fight to get your land free from occupation. i do not think so. it is freedom fighting like it or not . Israel have kidnapped Civilians Lebanese and Palestinians from their homes and kept them for years. Israel have kidnapped civilians while Hezbollah and Al Nasser kidnapped military people to win the release of their civilians where most of them are kids and women .

ISRAEL TODAY
Christian and Muslims are seen as subhuman and are forced to use color coded license plates that easily identify them as non-Jewish. Palestinians are forced to use different roads, sidewalks and neighborhoods from their Jewish counterparts primarily to prevent terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens. In actuality it was yet another form of control and humiliation designed to wear down and demoralize the Palestinian people. 93% of Israel is off limits to non-Jewish residents...though exceptions are made for tourists.
Israel an American Value?
Torture and summary executions were not American values until we prostituted ourselves for the sake of Israel, thus adopting their policies, programs and procedures, despite the conflicts with our constitution and stated principles.
Though these actions violate every principle the United States is founded on, we support and protect these policies in Israel and engage in them in Iraq and Afghanistan making the term, "American values" the ultimate oxymoron.
Some of their most beloved Zionist leader quotes:
1. "There is a huge gap between us (Jews) and our enemies not just in ability but in morality, culture, sanctity of life, and conscience. They are our neighbors here, but it seems as if at a distance of a few hundred meters away, there are people who do not belong to our continent, to our world, but actually belong to a different galaxy." Israeli president Moshe Katsav. The Jerusalem Post, May 10, 2001
2. "The Palestinians are like crocodiles, the more you give them meat, they want more".... Ehud Barak, Prime Minister of Israel at the time - August 28, 2000. Reported in the Jerusalem Post August 30, 2000

4. "The Palestinians" would be crushed like grasshoppers ... heads smashed against the boulders and walls." " Isreali Prime Minister (at the time) in a speech to Jewish settlers New York Times April 1, 1988
5. "When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle." Raphael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defence Forces, New York Times, 14 April 1983.
6. "How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to." Golda Maier, March 8, 1969.
7. "There was no such thing as Palestinians, they never existed." Golda Maier Israeli Prime Minister June 15, 1969
8. "The thesis that the danger of genocide was hanging over us in June 1967 and that Israel was fighting for its physical existence is only bluff, which was born and developed after the war." Israeli General Matityahu Peled, Ha'aretz, 19 March 1972.
9. David Ben Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): "If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti - Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault ? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?" Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.
10. Ben Gurion also warned in 1948 : "We must do everything to insure they ( the Palestinians) never do return." Assuring his fellow Zionists that Palestinians will never come back to their homes. "The old will die and the young will forget."

We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it." - Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001, to Shimon Peres, as reported on Kol Yisrael radio. 13. "We declare openly that the Arabs have no right to settle on even one centimeter of Eretz Israel... Force is all they do or ever will understand.

15. "We should prepare to go over to the offensive. Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine.

17. "Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist.

Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population." Moshe Dayan, address to the Technion, Haifa, reported in Haaretz, April 4, 1969.

20. "There are some who believe that the non-Jewish population, even in a high percentage, within our borders will be more effectively under our surveillance; and there are some who believe the contrary, i.e., that it is easier to carry out surveillance over the activities of a neighbor than over those of a tenant. [I] tend to support the latter view and have an additional argument:...the need to sustain the character of the state which will henceforth be Jewish...with a non-Jewish minority limited to 15 percent. I had already reached this fundamental position as early as 1940 [and] it is entered in my diary." Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish Agency's Colonization Department. From Israel: an Apartheid State by Uri Davis, p.5.

Yoram Bar Porath, Yediot Aahronot, of 14 July 1972.

24. "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail." -- Rabbi Yaacov Perrin, Feb. 27, 1994 [Source: N.Y. Times, Feb. 28, 1994, p. 1]

27. "We will establish ourselves in Palestine whether you like it or not...You can hasten our arrival or you can equally retard it. It is however better for you to help us so as to avoid our constructive powers being turned into a destructive power which will overthrow the world." (Chaim Weizmann, Published in "Judische Rundschau," No. 4, 1920)
