The context of military conflicts

Israel started a comprehensive offensive in Lebanon in mid -September after there were months of mutual border attacks. These arguments began on October 8 of last year, when Hezbollah attacked Israeli -controlled area in the sign of solidarity with Hamas and the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Since then, Israel has launched a soil offensive, killed several leading members of Hezbollah - including one of the founders, Hassan Nasrallah - and thousands of people in an attack with exploding pager.
