why is israel attacking lebanon?? wat is it gainig??

Answer 1

their reason cos 3 of their soldiers were abducted by the hizbullah, but what bout the hundreds of lebanese civilians and hizbullah and palestinian lock up illegally by them( israel)

Answer 2

Israel was fighting back against Lebanon who attacked first.

Hezbollah which is a military force in Lebanon fired rockets and mortars at Israeli military positions and border villages to divert attention from another Hezbollah unit that crossed the border and captured two Israeli soldiers and killed three. So Lebanon started it! Israel responded with massive airstrikes and artillery fire on Lebanese civilian infrastructure, which Israel said Hezbollah was using, an air and naval blockade,[18] and a ground invasion of southern Lebanon.

The conflict killed over 1,500 people, many of whom were Lebanese civilians, severely damaged Lebanese infrastructure, displaced about 900,000 Lebanese and 300,000 Israelis.

On 11 August 2006 the United Nations Security Council unanimously approved UN Resolution 1701 in an effort to end the hostilities. The resolution, which was approved by both Lebanese and Israeli governments the following days, also called for the disarming of Hezbollah, for Israel to withdraw

Answer 3

Israel has withdrawn from their failed attack on Lebanon. Israel used the capture of 2 Israeli soldiers as justification to kill thousands of Lebanese civilians in an effort to gain a "security buffer zone" that just happened to include the Latani River. the Latani River was the true reason Israel tried a scorched earth attack tactic against Lebanon. water sources such as the Latani River are highly desirable in arid desert regions. Israel used cluster bombs on civilians targets which is against International Law. the Lebanese civilian population will be suffering death and maiming for many years due to American made Israeli cluster bombs and Zionist territorial avarice.

PS. soldiers are not "kidnapped". soldiers are "captured". applying such emotive words as "kidnapped" to well armed and well trained military personnel is disingenuous.

Answer 4

Israel was not attacking Lebanon. It was attacking Hezbollah. And, Hezbollah has their people hidden among the civilian population to ''protect the fighters of Hezbollah''. Israel had no choice, as Hezbollah put them in this situation.

My heart goes out to Lebanon. They fought a civil war for civil rights for the Muslims.. Now Hezbollah is taking it away from them.

Answer 5

Israel attacked Lebanon because a Lebanese group ambushed one of the Israeli troop camps. They kidnapped two soldiers and left the rest for dead. Israel wants their soldiers back and I havent heard of them letting the soldiers go free. All I have heard is that Isreal is coming to a point to sign a peace agreement with the Lebanese.

Answer 6

I live in Lebanon. There was no war between israel and lebanon for 20 yrs

In july Hizbullah entered Israeli's territory and killed 3 of their soldiers and kidnapped 2

Israel asked them to return the soldiers and apologise for the attack.. Hizbullah mocked at them

And Israel broke the hell in Lebanon !!

This is the real Truth...if someone enters your house and slap your kid...what would you do ?

Answer 7

In case you forgot, Hezbollah, a private Iranian sponsored army based in Lebanon attacked Israel without provocation.

Answer 8

Uh, haven't they withdrawn from Lebanon?? But still, Israel is NOT the enemy to anyone who says they are!!

Answer 9

The chance to stop being fired upon by 100s of missiles, and to stop having their soldiers kidnapped.

Answer 10

What would you do if someone came into your house and attacked your home and family?? Israel is defending herself...
