True, i think, but syrian forces left Lebanon only earlier this year after the so called "cedar revolution". My point is that Lebanon was in a way occupied by another country up to a few months ago and it is still under the influence of Syria and Iran.

I think it's beyond dispute that Israel reacted to an attack from abroad. But I honestly don't think that indiscriminate bombing of civilian population in Lebanon will solve the Hezbollah problem. Maybe Hezbollah forces will withdraw but I think that bombing the civilian population will only breed new Hezbollah militants.

And don't forget Syria.

and finally what would you do if you were israel or it was happening to your country?

I would exert pressure on Syria and Iran to stop supporting Hezbollah, making clear that the continuation of the support would have serious consequences.If this doesn't work, I think the use of force against Syria would be justified. I would also put under pressure the lebanese government to actively enforce the UN resolution regarding Hezbollah, maybe proposing a joint lebanese-israeli force to control southern lebanon.
