Originally from July 12, 2006 the war was between Hezbollah which captured 2 Israeli soldiers in the Shaaba farms area and then fired rockets into Haifa, Israel. So the war was between Hezbollah which is a guerrilla militia operating within the country of Lebanon and the state of Israel. To bring you up to date.......

Under UNSC Resolution 1701 up to 15,000 UNFIL troops and up to 15,000 Lebanese soldiers are to be deployed and enforce an arms embargo on Hezbollah. Currently, 2,500 U.N. observers are monitoring the Israel-Lebanon border, but have a very limited mandate.

The force dubbed by Kofi Annan UNIFIL-2 has no operational plan to enforce the UN arms embargo which would entail stemming the heavy flow of Iranian arms shipments entering Lebanon day by day along two Syrian tracks. Long, heavily laden convoys are heading from the Syrian ports of Latakia and Tartus to the Lebanese Beqaa Valley, bringing Hizballah its first heavy missiles - the Russian-made Scud-B adapted by Iran as Shahab-1, which has a one-ton warhead and range of 350 km. A second track brings 3-5 Iranian air cargoes every day to Syrian air bases near the Lebanese border

Israel has said it would not lift its blockade unless international forces, along with Lebanese troops, are deployed on the Israel-Lebanon border, as well as on Lebanon's frontier with Syria to prevent the flow of weapons to Hezbollah.

Syria has said it would consider the presence of international troops on its border a hostile act and Lebanon has said it would deploy its own forces there, but not let international troops patrol in the area. Annan has backed Lebanon in the dispute and called on "all the neighbors" to cooperate in implementing the cease-fire deal.

On Wednesday, a Hezbollah cabinet minister said that the guerrilla group will not release the two captured Israeli soldiers unconditionally, and that they would only be freed in a prisoner exchange.
"There will be no unconditional release. This is not possible," Minister of Energy and Hydraulic Resources Mohammed Fneish said in Beirut. He is one of two Hezbollah members in Lebanon's Cabinet.

Prime Minister Fouad Siniora pledged to distribute some LL50 million ($33,000) in aid to each family whose home was completely destroyed during the recent Israeli-Hezbollah offensive. A government primary estimation shows that 130,000 houses across Lebanon have been demolished or damaged of which 50,000 are in Beirut's southern suburbs. Several Arab countries had offered to rebuild entire villages that had been partially or completely destroyed during the recent conflict.

"Saudi Arabia has pledged to reconstruct 10 villages, Qatar one village, Yemen one village, Bahrain one village," Siniora said. "We will propose the idea of such help to the countries taking part in the Stockholm conference."

Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport will be repaired at no charge by the Consolidated Contractors Company, he added.

"The eastern runway, 21, has been completely fixed ... The western runway, 17, is currently under reconstruction and needs three days to be fully operational. The rest of the runways need a few days before they will be operational," Siniora said.

"The Stockholm conference, which will be attended by 60 governments and organizations, will constitute a primary remedy to the results of the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict. The Beirut I international donor conference will take place later this year.

Israel's Prime Minister Olmert said he hoped the cease-fire would provide dialogue between Israel and Lebanon to allow "direct contact" between the government of Israel and the government of Lebanon to hopefully to reach agreement between the two countries. He said, the deal could be "a cornerstone to build a new reality between Israel and Lebanon."

Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said Wednesday that Lebanon will be the last Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel, vowing that he would not hold "direct or indirect contacts" with Israel.

That answer is in the Bible.... of course.

These two people have been fighting for well over 3,000 years because the Israelites took the Lebanon's land. Reading the Bible, the Israelites claim they were instructed by their God to take the land for their own.

Because most of the Middle East has always been desert, farmable land and areas with good water has always been scarce. So, they fight over who has the rights to these resources.

There will never be peace in the Middle East because of these claims.

What is worse, the European mind-set cannot understand any social or cultural differences that is not European in concept... this includes the U.S. With the U.S., England and other European nations trying to make the Middle East fit into the European mind-set will only make matters worse. Trying to change a 3,000+ culture and philosophy is akin to trying to make an active volcano suddenly dormant.

The only way the Middle East will completely stop it's hostilities is if God appeared betwixt the two peoples and told them directly whom is to own the land.

the inspiration reason is the Israelites crossing the purple Sea i continually understood. yet i'd be incorrect. do not imagine there has been quite some peace in that area in view that they arrived of their self-proclaimed promised land i imagine.. or perhaps a lot less in view that they declared area of the land as their own. i don't think of that's conceivable to ask that question devoid of examining lots of the historic previous on the realm. not that i recognize of any good hyperlinks, with any success someone will come alongside who can. I keep in concepts the Lebanon even as i changed into an adolescent. in simple terms this situations i pick to not keep my evaluations to myself. notwithstanding misinformed they could nicely be. Amen.

The immediate cause was when Hezbollah crossed the international border, attacked Israeli soldiers killing some and kidnapping two to use as bargaining chips in a "prisoner" swap in the future.

The overarching cause is the fact that many Arabs hate Israel with such passion that they will not stop attacking it until they (hope they will) succeed in annihilating it. Then they will look for another scapegoat to blame for all their internal problems.

This particular fight is because Lebanon decided they would take Isreal men as hostages. They were given ample time and opportunity to release these hostages and chose not to. Thus pushing Isreal into a war with them.

Each of their governments is deeply rooted in opposing religious views. It is highly likely, given this truth, that each sees the other as inferior to itself. This leads to intolerance, racism on both sides, assertion of moral high ground on both sides, and lowered regard for the sanctity of the other side's lives.

Ultimately, these things breed hatred and conflict is inevitable.

Where've you been? Terroist kidnapped two of their soldiers and wouldn't give them back. I don't think they have still given them back.
