What area are Jews and Arabs fighting over in Israel?
It depends on the particular conflict, but the two territories most in contention between the Israelis and Palestinians are the Gaza Strip and the West Bank (including East Jerusalem). There is much contention between Israelis and Syrians over the Golan Heights and between Israelis and Lebanese there is some contention over the Shebaa Farms and the area south of the Litani River. It is important to note that while Israel is the Jewish State, its soldiers and citizens are Israelis and have important non-Jewish components. (This is why the word Jew has not been used above in favor of Israeli.)
How did the Lebanese Civil War end?
All of the Lebanese factions signed the Ta'if Agreement in Saudi Arabia, which gave the Muslim population more power than they had previously held, but did not completely eliminate Christian safeguards on power. The Israeli invasion force retreated to the area south of the Litani River (until 2000) and the Syrian invasion force was installed as a "legitimate" peacekeeping and occupation force. (While it was legitimate under the Ta'if Agreement, most Lebanese regarded the Syrian Occupation as a hostile control over their government and finally ejected it in 2006.)
What country lost territory to Israel?
Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and (depending on your definition of country) Palestine have all lost territory to Israel. Jordan: Admittedly all of the taken Jordanian territory was itself territory taken from the British Mandate of Palestine (and not part of the land granted to Hashemite Kings by the British). Egypt: The Egyptian territory taken in the Sinai has been subsequently returned to Egypt on two different occasions (1956-1956, 1967-1982). Syria: Syria has lost the eastern bank of the Sea of Galilee (part of the British Mandate of Palestine) and the Golan Heights (part of the French Mandate of Syria) to Israel and these territories have not been returned. Officially (according to the UN), the Shebaa Farms in the Golan Heights is Lebanese territory (controlled by Israel) but the Lebanese government considers that territory to be Syrian. Palestine: Israel overran Gaza and the West Bank in 1967 and retained them as Occupied Territories. In 1993, Israel devolved parts of the Gaza Strip and West Bank to the Palestinian Authority and in 2005 ceded the remainder of the Gaza Strip to that government. The West Bank has remained a smattering of Palestinian and Israeli military control while Gaza is under complete Palestinian control (currently exercised by Hamas). Lebanon: Southern Lebanon (south of the Litani River) was occupied by Israeli forces from 1982-2000, but was never considered to have become Israeli territory by the Lebanese or the Israelis the way that the other territories have been considered.
Who did Syria side with in the Arab-Israeli Conflict?
Syria has historically aligned with the Arab States against Israel. Syria has had an extensive role in the Arab-Israeli Conflict, always supporting its fellow Arab allies in wars. The first war in the Arab-Israeli Conflict that Syria committed to was the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9 where it signed an armistice and held on to five square kilometers of the former Mandate of Palestine on the southeast coast of the Sea of Galilee. During this period, many Palestinian Refugees came to Syria where they were shuttered in Refugee Camps. Most still remain in there to this day. Between 1949 and 1967, the Syrians and Israelis were in a de jure state of non-combat, but periodically, the Syrians would rain rockets down on Israeli villages in the Eastern Galilee region of Israel. Israel was incapable of properly responding as Syria held the high ground. Syria did not participate in the Arab-Israeli War of 1956 in which the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula was invaded. In 1967, Syria joined the Six Day War on the third day making some small gains in the Eastern Galilee. However, Israeli troops quickly reversed these gains and captured the Golan Heights, the Syrian territory bordering the Eastern Galilee Region of Israel. Syria signed UN Resolution 242 ending the skirmish, but determined with other Arab Nations not to give in to negotiating with Israel. Additional Palestinian Refugees came to Syria in this period as well as Syrian Nationals fleeing from the Israeli Army. In the late '60s and early '70s, Syria coordinated defense with Egypt and the two jointly launched a surprise attack on Israel in 1973. While the two allies made impressive gains in the first week of the war, Israel appeared to be winning towards the end of the month and Israeli tanks were advancing to Damascus when the ceasefire was called and the antebellum situation restored. The next confrontation between Syrian and Israeli forces would come by way of the Lebanese Civil War. The Syrians buttressed the Shiite Militant Factions and Hezbollah while the Israelis fought alongside the Maronite Christian Falangists. When it seemed the war was resolving in Syria's favor, Israeli forces withdrew to the Litani River and Syria occupied Lebanon until 2005. Syria and Israel have had no further direct confrontations, but Syria continues to provide much of the funding for Hezbollah, which did enter a confrontation with Israel in 2006 in Lebanon again. Syria has continued to refuse to make peace with the nation that still holds the Golan Heights, and that opposes the Palestinian independent State without a guarantee of its own security.
How did the Israeli-Palestinian conflict evolve?
The conflict over Palestine predates the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The modern conflict is generally dated from the early 20th century, when Jewish immigration to Palestine increased significantly as a consequence of Zionism.

What set lebanese borders?
The Lebanese borders were set by France during the early division of the Mandate for Syria, at which point, Lebanon was split off from the other Syrian regions. Currently, the Lebanese borders are defended by the United Nations (UNIFIL) which has recognized the Lebanese-Israeli border as being the "Blue Line" south of the Litani River.
How big is southern Lebanon?
Southern Lebanon does not refer to a specific region and therefore is not an exact size. When most people refer to "southern Lebanon" they are referring to the area north of the Israeli border and south of the Litani River where UNIFIL is stationed (see map in the Related Links below). This area is roughly 420 sq. mi. or 1090 sq. km.
