Israel doesn't have a problem with Lebanon , Israel has an issue with the Palestinians who moved there after the creation of the Israeli state and from whom were drafted PLO fighters to attack Israel. The majority of the original Lebanese people (Christian arabs & Druze) do not want the Palestinians there and fought against them with the help of the Israelis . Hezbollah moved in and are too powerful for the Lebanese to control so they basically use the southern part of Lebanon to attack Israel.Forgive me if I have this wrong.
1: As I understand it Israel and Lebanon have been at odds for decades.
2: There have been long standing border issues with Israeli settlers ousting locals, more than 200,000 displaced.
3: They are obviously a terrorist group involved and have been firing rockets in support of the Palestinian brothers as they see them ever since the start of the this whole thing.
4: I think (something I should not do) they are firing rockets in support and as a measure for them to say, Israel we will not let you take anymore of our land, and you will not do to us what Israel have done to the Palestinians by murdering and displacing thousands.
For every action there is a reaction.
By settlers do you mean those Jews that settled in Israel in the late 1940s? Do you believe the state of Israel shouldn't exist ?
Hezbollah is driven by Iran and its agenda not what the Palestinians want.
Israel is not after taking land from Lebanon , it would prefer that there was a stable, neutral government there as there was for the first 30 years of its existence i.e. during the 1947, 56, 67 and 73 wars Israel did not have to worry about large attacks from the North.
In all the comments nothing is ever said about the destabilisation of Lebanon by the first the PLO and then Hezbollah which has resulted in killings.
