How has the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict impacted the War in Lebanon?

This question is difficult to answer because the term "War in Lebanon" is nebulous.
In the case of the Lebanese Civil War, one of the major factions fighting in that war was the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) which had made Beirut, Lebanon its headquarters after being thrown out from Jordan. In an attempt to unite the various Lebanese factions to attack Israel instead of each other, the PLO attacked Israel. The plan backfired as the Israeli Army allied with Lebanese Christians to oppose the PLO. The major entry of Israel into the Lebanese Civil War brought the Syrians in to counterbalance them. At the end of the war, the PLO was evicted from Lebanon and Lebanon remained under partial Israeli and Syrian occupation which ended in 2000 and 2006 respectively.
In the case of Israel's War with Hezbollah, Hezbollah considers the liberation of southern Lebanon (which has occurred with the possible exception of the Shebaa Farms) and the "liberation" of Palestine to be its most important goals. Since it derives a large part of its motivation to the Palestinian cause, it is easy to see how the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict precipitated the War with Hezbollah by providing the background for both Israel and Hezbollah to exist and to be positioned against each other.
