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.
