Beirut is the capital and largest city of Lebanon, a country in western Asia.
It is the military campaign of Israel against Hizballah in Lebanon, waged in 2006.
Originally, UNIFIL was created by the Security Council in March 1978 to confirm Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, restore international peace and security and assist the Lebanese Government in restoring its effective authority in the area. The original mandate had to be adjusted twice, due to the developments in 1982 (Israeli involvement in the Lebanese Civil War) and 2000 (Israeli military withdrawal from South Lebanon).Following the Israel-Hezbollah War of 2006, the Council enhanced the Force and decided that in addition to the original mandate, it would, among other things, monitor the cessation of hostilities; accompany and support the Lebanese armed forces as they deploy throughout the south of Lebanon; and extend its assistance to help ensure humanitarian access to civilian populations and the voluntary and safe return of displaced persons.
Israel defeated the PLO and Syria, and withdrew after achieving it's military objectives in 1983. It kept a "security zone" in Southern Lebanon until may 2000.
It depends entirely on who is in power in Lebanon. When the Christians in Lebanon have more power, they pursue a more Pro-US orientation because they can see the US a security guarantor. When the Shiite Muslims in Lebanon, especially Hezbollah, have more power, they pursue a more hostile anti-US orientation because they see the US a shill for the Israelis. The US has a functional relationship with Lebanon, but no serious alliances, military agreements, or trade agreements between the US and Lebanon.
