Israel has fought with Lebanon on several occasions including: Israel's entrée into the Lebanese Civil War in 1982, the Occupation of South Lebanon from 1982-2000, or the recent Israeli-Hezbollah War in 2006. All three stem from different causes. The primary ones for each are listed below.
1) The Lebanese Civil War had a number of causes separate to Israel and Israel only entered the War midway through. The causes of the Lebanese Civil War included, but were not limited to:
Israel entered the Lebanese Civil War on account of the following two reasons:
2) The Occupation of Southern Lebanon was a result of the Lebanese Civil War. Israeli troops were already in Lebanon and just retreated to positions south of the Litani River, but north of the Israeli-Lebanese border. Hezbollah and other paramilitary groups harassed the Israeli occupying force, leading to minor skirmishes in the area. In 2000, as a sign of restraint, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak withdrew the Israelis to the 1980 borders to the satisfaction of the United Nations, but not to Hezbollah which considers parts of the Israeli-occupied Golan to be Lebanese territory.
3) The Israeli-Hezbollah War began from Hezbollah's gross misinterpretation of how strongly Israel would respond to its illicit activities. The War had a number of causes that included, but were not limited to:
Israel invaded Lebanon to drive out the Palestine Liberation Organization, which was sending rockets over the border from Lebanon into Israel and attempting to destabilize Israel.

Yes the United Nations has intervened in the Israeli - Arab conflicts. The most recent time several years ago when the UN authorized placing French "observers" in southern Lebanon to make sure no missiles could be fired into Israel. This action failed as missiles were launched into Israel from southern Lebanon. The result was an invasion of Lebanon by Israel. Also Israel launched air attacks on Beirut.
In order of longest to shortest border as the countries currently exist de facto: Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon.
The event that caused that invasion was the joint decision by those nationsto refuse to accept the existence of a Jewish sovereign state in their region.Their mutual decision was taken immediately following the declaration of Israelas an independent sovereign state, in May of 1948.
Syria lost territory to Israel in the 1967 War (the Golan Heights). It made no successful incursions into Israel from that point onwards. The Syrian Army did invade Lebanon in 1982 and occupied Lebanon until 2006.
Israel invaded Lebanon during this period, responding to provocation from the Palestinian Liberation Organization operating out of southern Lebanon. =============================== Another contributor notes: Once again, as on so many previous and subsequent occasions, the trouble began when Israel fired back.
Lebanon is north of Israel.
Israel, Turkey, and Lebanon are considered middle east countries.

No. Lebanon is on Israel's northern border or Israel is on Lebanon's southern border. There are areas of Israel that are further north of some areas of Lebanon. But this is similar to how some areas of Mexico are north of some places in the US, and some areas in Canada are south of some places in the US. Similarly, the border between Lebanon and Israel is uneven, and does not follow a line of constant latitude.
