Israel has not enjoyed security along its shared northern border
with Lebanon for more than 40 years. Prior to the defeat of the
combined Arab armies in 1967, the nation of Israel enjoyed a
relatively peaceful border with Lebanon. However, the 1967 conflict
created a refugee problem that forced many Palestinians to seek
shelter in neighboring countries. As a result, the Palestinian
Liberation Organization (PLO): after experiencing problems with the
Jordanian government: moved to Lebanon and began a series of
cross-border attacks against the Israeli people, government, and
military.2 The PLO's actions so destabilized and weakened the
Lebanese government: indeed produced a sectarian civil war: that it
was unable to exercise control over its southern territory. Given
this situation, the nation of Israel felt compelled to act
militarily and invaded southern Lebanon in the summer of 1982 for
self-defense purposes.3 Over the next 18 years of occupation,
Israeli forces fought the PLO, the Amal militia, and an emergent
group called Hezbollah: better known as the Party of God.
Hezbollah: a Shia Muslim oriented terrorist group: became the
dominant terrorist force in Lebanon while Fatah and Hamas became
the main Palestinian terrorist factions in the West Bank and Gaza.
