1 The fact that Israel excists: Israel was created by mandate of the UN in 1947 to create a homeland for the Jews in the british governed Palestine areas. The Zionists had allready settled in that area since the late 1800s But With the establishment of the State of Israel they began agressively occupiyng lands that belonged to the arabs. Thus the fighting began.
2 The fact that Israel invaded Lebannon in the 1980's to expel the PLO and held one of the most bloody campaigns in which they practically levelled Beyrut and the rest of the country.
3 The fact of course that Hezbollah kidnapped 2 soldiers of Israel with retaliation of the Israeli army following retalliation of Hezbollah etc.
The entire middle east situation is one of the longest lasting conflicts in our recent history

The 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict is a military conflict in Lebanon and northern Israel, primarily between Hezbollah and Israel, which started on 12 July 2006. A United Nations-brokered ceasefire went into effect on 14 August 2006.
The conflict began when a Hezbollah unit conducted a cross-border raid, capturing two Israeli soldiers and killing three. Israel responded with airstrikes across Lebanon, during which more than 7,000 targets were struck, a ground invasion of southern Lebanon, and an air and naval blockade (which is still enforced[12]), while Hezbollah launched thousands of rockets into Israel and engaged the Israeli Army on the ground in guerrilla warfare. The conflict has killed over a thousand people, mostly Lebanese civilians, damaged Lebanese infrastructure, displaced about a million Lebanese and 500,000 Israelis, and disrupted normal life across all of Lebanon and northern Israel.
On 11 August the United Nations Security Council unanimously approved United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, in an effort to end the hostilities. On 12 August, it was approved by the Lebanese government, and approved by the Israeli government the following day.
On 17 August the Lebanese army began deploying its forces in southern Lebanon as part of the agreement, and Israel began to withdraw some of its forces from the country. A full withdrawal is not expected until the enlarged UNIFIL force has arrived.
At around 9:00 AM local time (06:00 UTC), on 12 July 2006, Hezbollah initiated a diversionary Katyusha rocket and mortar attack on Israeli military positions and border villages. At the same time, a ground contingent of Hezbollah crossed the border into Israeli territory and attacked two Israeli armoured Humvees patrolling on the Israeli side of the Israel-Lebanon border, near the village of Zar'it, capturing two Israeli soldiers and killing three. Five others were killed later on the Lebanese side of the border during a mission to rescue the two captured soldiers.[13] The UN, the EU, the G8, the US, and prominent news agencies,[14] including Al Jazeera,[15] have characterized the Hezbollah action as "cross-border".[16] In an interview with The Times on 2 August, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said: “The war started not only by killing eight Israeli soldiers and abducting two, but by shooting Katyusha and other rockets on the northern cities of Israel on that same morning. Indiscriminately.”[17]
Hezbollah's attack was named "Operation Truthful Promise", after a "promise" by its leader Hassan Nasrallah to capture Israeli soldiers and swap them for Arab prisoners in Israeli jails. It also include some of the four Lebanese prisoners in Israel, including convicted murderer Samir Kuntar.[18] Later on, Nasrallah declared: “No military operation will return the Israeli captured soldiers…The prisoners will not be returned except through one way: indirect negotiations and a trade of prisoners.”[19]
