Israel has a strict policy of bringing every soldier home safely (either alive or in a body bag). Hezbollah thought they could antagonize Israel a little by kidnapping two soldiers, Regev and Goldwasser, on the Lebanese border, thinking Israel would not actually fight for them. They were wrong and the Lebanese civilians paid the price for supporting and housing such belligerents.
1982 and 2006
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.
It is the military campaign of Israel against Hizballah in Lebanon, waged in 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.
YES. The two suicide bombings against the Israel Defense Forces' headquarters building in Tyre, Lebanon took place in 1982 and 1983, which was during Israel's intervention in the Lebanese Civil War. This intervention is commonly called the First Israel-Lebanon War in Pro-Israeli circles (in contrast to the War with Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006, which is called the Second Israel-Lebanon War).
There were a few wars that Israel fought in Lebanon: the Lebanese Civil War from 1981-1982, the Occupation of Southern Lebanon from 1982-2000, and the War Against Hezbollah in 2006.

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.
Israel is surround by Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria and Lebanon, Syria and Saudi Arabia are hostile
