The Hezbollah terrorists, who are fully funded by Iran, attacked Israel shortly after Israel and the United States began their attacks on Iran.
Israel was forced to enter Lebanon to deal with the attacks from the terrorist group which is well known for deliberatly placing its missile launchers in civilian areas in order to generate sympathy for the casualties that result from Israel's response.
Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard issued a statement Thursday vowing that “there will be no calm in the region" if Israel doesn't withdraw its troops from Lebanon. In an interview with CNN, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun responded: “It’s not your job to interfere into our country. I reject the statement totally because our people (are) being killed, our houses being destroyed.”
Aoun said Hezbollah should understand that negotiations and diplomacy are the only way “to save what’s left” of Lebanon. Its government accuses Hezbollah of dragging the country into war and had made efforts to disarm the group before the latest hostilities.
