The reason was the cross-border raid by Hezbollah which killed eight Israeli soldiers and kidnapped two of them.

Easy to say for somebody that just looks a few weeks back and not the whole history of the region.

If you want to go back to the time of Adam that is your decision, but the reason for this conflict are the actions of Hezbollah.

Lebanon has no control over Hezbollah, so leaving it up to Lebanon would solve absolutely nothing.

Hezbollah is Lebanon.. Lebanon wouldn't exist if it weren't for Hezbollah. And if it wasn't Hezbollah, it would be another resistance group made of all lebanese citizens.

There were no bombs being dropped in Lebanon before the killing of eight Israeli soldiers, now there is a war. It's called cause and effect. It doesn't require "deep thinking" to comprehend why Israel didn't appreciate an act of war by a foreign militia on their own soil. Just like they didn't appreciate an act of war by the Arab nations in 67.

Since the withdrawal of Israeli soldiers from Southern Lebanon in May of 2000, there were ongoing issues between the Israelis and Hezbollah. For one, Shebaa farms were still occupied. Secondly, Israelis still held Lebanese prisoners in their jails and weren't prepared to release them. They shot dead the 15 year old shepherd Ibrahim Rhayyel last February in Lebanon [1] and have refused to give up maps of land mines they placed during their occupation of South Lebanon which have killed several children over the past six years. Lastly, the Israelis continued their invasions into Lebanese sovereign territory through fighter jets, navy vessels and armored carriers. What would Israel's reaction be if the Syrians flew at low altitude breaking the sound barrier initiating a loud sonic boom over Tel-Aviv, or if the Russians or Chinese did the same over Washington?

The Lebanese government has taken these complaints of the Israeli 13,000+ incursions of Lebanese sovereign land, sea and air borders to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) for which UNIFIL acknowledges and has documented these incursions itself. The UN however has been helpless to stop them, bringing into question the integrity and purpose of the UN. In fact, the UN doesn't have any realistic mandate over the Israelis since condemnations of the Israelis have been vetoed by the United States. Here is a list of United States abusing its veto power to shield the Israelis over forty times [2].

If international diplomacy won't budge the Israelis, what other choices are there to receive justice? Hezbollah viewed its only option was to use Israeli soldiers as bargaining chips. It had worked in the past. The global community has been in shock at the Israelis response. The father of one of the captured Israeli soldiers made this comment "It will be ridiculous to think all this war happening now is because of my son. There were many...in the past there were many kidnaps before and captures and whatever and Israel didn't start the war because of this" [3].

The Israelis, instead of choosing peaceful international diplomacy to release the captured soldiers like has happened in the past with prisoner exchanges, instead decided to put in effect a unilateral war plan it had developed. No military initiates a conflict overnight without a carefully crafted war plan strategy. Some reports have suggested the Israelis had been preparing for this campaign on Lebanon for over a year [4]. This vicious conflict could have been avoided if the Lebanese prisoners were released and Shebaa farms were returned to Lebanon.

According to the UN israel completly withdrew from Lebonon. The Shebaa farms despute has nothing to do with Lebonon, even though Syria I am sure would find any reason to keep Hezbollah angry at Israel.

1. Syria says the Shebaa farms are Lebanese lands. Syrian officials may be asked this question at any time. No bets on whose claims Syria would defend.

2. Any map of Lebanon predating the current crisis clearly illustrates Shebaa within Lebanon. 1. Syria says the Shebaa farms are Lebanese lands. Syrian officials may be asked this question at any time. No bets on whose claims Syria would defend.

3. Shebaa inhabitants say they are Lebanese.

4. The Lebanese government has submitted several maps and proofs of Shebaa farms being Lebanese to the UN for which the UN has not acted upon.

5. For arguments sakes, we will presume the Israeli dispute that Shebaa farms are Syrian (although Syria affirms they belong to Lebanon). Being Syrian land, the Israelis shouldn't be there. If Israelis wanted peace, they should rightfully withdrawal in compliance with Resolutions 242 and 338.

Inshallah May Allah S.W.T help hezbullaah and hamas in there plan of complete elimination of the dirty evil state of israel

they are filthy because they are..
 
They hit houses, schools, shops, malls, playgrounds. With no warning.

Very similar to what the IDF are doing. They hit houses, stores, mosques, airports, roads etc with devastating weaponry.

At least Hezbollah killed more soldiers than civilians.
