From what I understand, Hezbollah, which enjoys substantial backing from Syria and Iran, is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and Israel, and that group holds 23 of the 128 seats in Lebanon's parliament. This is retaliation for the murders and kidnappings of the Israeli soilders. Just like the US in Iraq, there are casualties of war and sometimes the innocent have to die. Israel and Lebanon have been having this ongoing thing since like the 70s. What is Israel supposed to do? Just lie down and take it?
