The other thing is that Israel never really saw Hezbollah's strategic problem. They saw them as a pain in the backside - a Katyusha here, a kidnapping here. They never saw Hezbollah.

Hezbollah is not a conventional army. They're a guerilla force. They see themselves as a resistance movement.

Hi.

Yes. I wanted to ask how much of a factor is the Israeli incursions into the Shebaa Farms area of Lebanon, how much was that a factor into the war? And there's still an issue of the Shebaa Farms in Lebanon and Israel or was it a much larger premise? Was it just simply east versus west?

And - or was the Shebaa Farms, which is an area that some say belongs to Syria, some say belongs to Lebanon, and which is occupied by Israel? Rami Khouri, was that a factor in this conflict?

Well, is it a factor. I mean, there was really three basic issues that were at play here in the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, or Lebanon as a whole in Israel.

No, not permanent or long-term. It's an interim solution. It supposed to, kind of, separate the two sides, provide a buffer. It's significant that the international U.N. force was expanded. It's around 12,000 now. It's significant that the Lebanese army moved down into the south. Both of these were done with Hezbollah ...

So the presence of this large force is significant. It reduces the likelihood of a big clash taking place.

Yet, one of the things that U.N. forces, from Israel's point of view, hopefully doing, is preventing the rearmament of Hezbollah from across the border in Syria. Is that working?
