During the summer of 2006, Israel conducted a thirty-four day war
against Hezbollah in response to the abduction of two Israeli
soldiers. Israeli forces caused significant damage to Hezbollah
military capabilities and Lebanese infrastructure, yet Israel
failed to achieve any of its primary objectives. The kidnapped
soldiers were not released and Israel's deterrence posture was
weakened due to regional perceptions of Israeli defeat. Hezbollah
survived to fight another day, and their rocket attacks on northern
Israel were never suppressed. The United Nations (UN) peacekeeping
force has proved ineffective at disarming Hezbollah's fighters.
During the fight, Israeli ground forces were bogged down by a well
prepared enemy and, while their air strikes caused great damage in
Lebanon, they failed to coerce the population to stop supporting
Hezbollah. Hezbollah was able to use the damage to evoke widespread
condemnation of Israel by successfully manipulating the media.
