What is Hezbollah and why is Israel attacking Lebanon?

Hezbollah is a Shiite Islamist political party and militant group based in Lebanon. It was founded in the 1980s with the goal of resisting the Israeli occupation of South Lebanon.

Israel has been attacking Lebanon primarily due to the actions of Hezbollah. They see Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and a threat to their security.

Hezbollah has been involved in numerous conflicts with Israel over the years, including the 2006 war between the two sides.

Israel believes that Hezbollah receives support from Iran, which further exacerbates the tensions between the two countries.

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has led to a long history of violence and instability in Lebanon.

Hezbollah has also been involved in supporting the Syrian regime in the Syrian Civil War, which has further strained relations with Israel.

The ongoing attacks by Israel on Lebanon are seen as a way to weaken Hezbollah’s influence in the region and protect Israeli interests.

However, the attacks have also resulted in civilian casualties and widespread destruction in Lebanon.

The situation remains volatile and continues to be a major source of tension in the Middle East.

Efforts towards finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah are ongoing, but progress has been slow.
