Who won the war Israel or hezbollah?

Although Hezbollah's conduct was surprising, it suffered a serious setback. Most of its long-range Iranian-supplied missiles were destroyed in the first few hours, forcing it to rely primarily on Katyusha rockets. It's also important to know that Israeli air and naval strikes and speacial operations destroyed numerous Hezbollah bases, arms and munitions dumps, and rockets. In ground fighting, Hezbollah's equipment and human losses were usually greater than those of the Israelis, but they managed to bog Israel down until the end of the war, when an offensive drove them back across the Litani. Israel withdrew only after the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) secured the area to prevent a full-scale Hezbollah return. Hezbollah used to be a state-within-a-state inside South Lebanon, but it's authority was severely weakened. It had taken significant casualties, and lost a good portion of its weaponry (though this was quickly replaced with Iranian shipments).

The only Israeli setbacks were the effectiveness of Hezbollah's anti-tank missiles, which damaged a number of tanks and completely destroyed five (two beyond repair) and knocked out an armored bulldozer. Hezbollah also managed to shoot down an Israeli helicopter for the first time, damage but not sink an Israeli warship, and keep a steady stream of rocket fire into Northern Israel, which caused casualties and damage to infrastructure and the economy. It also managed to inflict serious casualties on the Israelis through urban combat, though it's losses were much higher. Although it captured some equipment, it was not a significant amount. Although Israel failed in it's objective to destroy Hezbollah, Hezbollah failed in it's objective to damage Israel's military capabilities.

If you are referring to northern Israel of today, the region is split between Jews and Muslims with sprinklings of Christians and Druze.

What did role did the United Nations play in the creation of the State of Israel?

The United Nations passed the UNGA Resolution 181 (II) on November 29, 1947 that provided permission for the different ethno-religious groups in Mandatory Palestine to declare a state. In the case of most mandates, the understanding was that the mandate would eventually become independent as one new state, like Iraq or Syria had. The case of Palestine was therefore unique and needed the permission to deviate from the traditional path of independence. Because of there being two states, provisional borders had to be provided, which is why a map was used, but those borders would only come into play if both sides decided to remain at peace. The Jews acted on the permission granted to them by UN Resolution 181 by declaring independence on May 14, 1948 (nearly six months after the Resolution was passed) and therefore creating the State of Israel.

What conflicts are caused by zionism in the middle east?

Zionism is one of numerous causes of the Arab-Israeli Conflict and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Zionism is the philosophy that the Jewish people should have a nation-state just like the German people, Turkish people, Greek people, and so on. Without Zionism, there would be no State of Israel, and hence any conflicts associated with that state would not exist. However, the mere existence of the State of Israel does not cause conflict; the existence combined with its rejection by its neighbors for various reasons.
