Lebanon.

It is important to note that the invasion in 1982 was to pursue the PLO, not Hezbollah.

Who won the Israel-Hezbollah War in 2006?

In the Israel-Hezbollah war in 2006, Israel was unable to eliminate Hezbollah nor their weapon stock, and Hezbollah was unable to protect the Lebanese villages from destruction. They both failed to reach their goals, but they both believed they won. The ones who lost are the peaceful Lebanese citizens, and the destruction of their infrastructure, while harming the tourist season and economy.


Who is stronger hezbollah or israel?

It entirely depends on how you define "strength". The Israeli Army is certainly much better armed than Hezbollah and while Israel has invaded Lebanon in ground invasions, Hezbollah has never attempted a ground invasion of Israel. Hezbollah has no army that could contest Israel in traditional international combat (such as was seen during World War II for example). However, Hezbollah's effectiveness lies in its ability to blend into local areas and put its men into locations not easily discoverable to Israeli soldiers. This was why the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel War has usually been seen as a stalemate or slight Hezbollah victory even though all fighting occurred in Lebanon and Hezbollah incurred many more casualties; Israel was not able to remove Hezbollah from Lebanon as it had previously been able to remove the PLO from Lebanon in 1982. However, to me, strength is about the idea to form a society where people desire peace and love in their lives even when their neighbors try to act divisively. In this way, Israel is clearly stronger. Regardless of any particular Israeli government, the leadership of the Israeli Army is disinclined from international conflict and openly differs to a civilian government that wants long-term peace (whose conditions vary with the politics of the day). Hezbollah has made clear that they are wholly disinterested in any peace or settlement, saying in their organizational charter that even if all of the Islamic countries made peace with Israel (including a future Palestine), they would continue to fight to oppose Israel.


Can Hezbollah invade Israel?

Answer 1Yes, they can as they have many allies throughout the middle east and Israel does not know where the headquarters are.Answer 2There are two parts to that question: 1) Can Hezbollah breach Israel's borders? and 2) If they can do this, can they sustain this breach?1) Yes. Hezbollah proved that it can breach Israeli defenses when they kidnapped the Israeli soldiers Regev and Goldwasser. This, however, was a coordinated attack with months of planning as opposed to a morning jaunt. Hezbollah needs to use a concerted effort to breach Israeli defenses.2) No. Hezbollah showed in the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War, that Hezbollah is an insurgent fighting group. Such a group can only fight a defensive war, not an offensive one that requires occupation of hostile territory. Hezbollah requires loyal allies to live in the territory to be invaded. Israelis (whether Jewish or Arab) have no love of Hezbollah and this would require the army to fight out in the open where the Israeli army is much more effective. It is telling that during the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War that the only attacks perpetrated within Israeli borders were missile attacks as opposed to military raids or direct combat. As concerns Hezbollah's allies, Iran, for all of its bluster, is not willing to expend military troops to bolster the regime of Bashar al-Assad (a regime it still financially backs) while Syria is in the midst of a civil war that Iran could effectively end. How much less is Iran interested in assisting an invasion of a country that has a far stronger military capability and where it has no internal allies.

Who won the Lebanon war?

Israel won the Lebanon war militarily, but Hezbollah may be said to have won politically. Israel achieved its goals, which was to 1) establish a buffer-zone in Southern Lebanon and force Hezbollah to withdraw from this area, 2) reach a complete ceasefire, effectively ceasing the low-scale conflict which had lasted since 1982, 3) bring an end to the rocket attacks, and 4) the deployment of Lebanese Armed Forces in Southern Lebanon. As a result of the war, for the first time in 40 years, the Lebanese state was able to control it's southernmost land militarily. Although Hezbollah officially denies it, an Israeli investigation shows that between 600 and 700 Islamic fighters died during the conflict. Hezbollah lost most of its long-range missiles, and the Israeli Air Force also stroke a serious blow to the rest of Hezbollah's rocket arsenal. In this respect, it's clear that Israel fought a successful war against Hezbollah. However, the amount of damage and devastation visited on Lebanon has become a public relations benefit to Hezbollah.

Why does Hezbollah hate the U.S.?

Hezbollah is founded as an organization dedicated to the removal of the State of Israel. In their view, the land of Israel was stolen from the Muslims who lived there: the Palestinians. They are doing everything militarily in their power to have the State of Israel wiped off the map. The main country preventing them from doing so (aside from Israel) is the United States, which supports the Israeli government and helps to fund their defense industry.

Who is hassan nasrallah?

Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah is the secretary-general of the Lebanese group Hezbollah (or "Party of God"). Hezbollah is a Shi'ite Muslim military and political group, formed after Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic regime in Lebanon. As a young man Nasrallah spent three years in an Islamic seminary in Najaf, Iraq, but left the country with the rise of Saddam Hussein.Upon his return to Lebanon he studied and taught at a religious school run by Abbas al-Masawi, who later led Hezbollah. Nasrallah became leader of Hezbollah after Masawi was killed in a 1993 Israeli attack. Nasrallah is a charismatic and incendiary speaker who has mixed a populist social welfare policy with a steady drumbeat of anti-Israel rhetoric and border warfare. Hezbollah's attacks on Israel in July of 2006, which prompted intense Israeli counterattacks in Lebanon, brought Nasrallah even more into the public eye.
