I tried my best to present an objective look at the history of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. My goal is to give some perspective and context for what we are witnessing today. Sometimes the best way to understand how things might unfold in the future is to look at what lessons each side may have chosen to learn in the past. The 2006 war was costly and devestating. The IDF and Israeli government saw it as a strategic defeat and have since made major changes. Hezbollah has also grown and invested in assets to double down on what they see as their strengths. However, In the past all sides have found ways to return to peace and some normalcy even after periods of war....the stakes have changed this time around with Iran taking more of a direct role though.... Hopefully the current tension we're going through finds a way to end.
Perhaps Isrealis in missile vulnerable regions should think about living and working in berm type buildings/houses to help nulify the effects of missile intrusions. This helps blunt the spear of the attacker as well as allow the defender to avoid being provoked into fighting small wars, which are only really PR stunts by one faction or another, so that they can remain relevent.

2001 , Barak lost the election to Ariel Sharon , who ruled till his stroke on 2005. This is important since Olmertwas a relatively new prime minister at 2006. Amir Perez the Secretary of defense at the time was also unxperienced, so both were influenced by Halotz Also , Ivri was not at any official rule in Israel army or government at 2006
Who would have thought that Arik would end up being such a symbol of hope and peace? 2006 was embarrassing, no doubts. Though in comparison to the failings leading to October 7th, it was as nothing. Israel has a powerful military, certainly the most powerful in the region (except for Turkey if we are including that as part of the region), but like many powerful militaries / organizations it tends to get complacent. It takes a wake up call like the Lebanese conflict in 2006 or the intelligence and military failures of October 7th to break out of the arrogance. The US Secret Service is going through that right now...
Barak wasn't cut out to be PM in the first place. Another Blunder was Golda Meir. In 1973 War she said Pre Emp. Strike. Only a Mad person could do that. IDF and IAF would stopped them all.
2:46 Hey. Huge factual mistake there. Ehud Barak's government was replaced by Likud-led Ariel Sharon. Who led Israel until he fell ill in 2006 (only then to be replaced by Olmert). Ariel Sharon, is not insignificant. He's one of the most famous former Israeli generals and security ministers in its past wars (67', 73', and Lebanon war of 82'). And who during his terms as prime minister largely faced the second Intifada, built the West Bank seperation wall, led the West Bank Protective Wall operation, and executed the disengagement from the Gaza Strip in 2005. Olmert was prime minister only during 2006-2009 period.

Lebanon has not even had an official census since the 1930s. There are massive infrastructure problems. It is a Thunderdome testbed. Also they have great falafel.
Beruit and Lebenon had been an island of plenty and peace right up until the 1970s. It was a place to go, like the hippy trail through such exotic historic locations like Kandahar and Khabul. Perhaps oil money has been abused to ferment indignation and an islamic version of peace and security....
Lebanon is pretty much a Failed State, almost entirely reliant on US and Euro Foreign Aid just to feed its population. That's the real reason Hezbollah has not gone full War against Israel currently. As soon as that Aid gets turned off, the whole country's in a Famine. Iran supplies them plenty of weapons, but no food or assistance in good governance. Like many, I'll criticize the USA for failing to install effective Governments in Iraq and Afghanistan, but Iran is even worse at that task with its Proxy States than the West is. But Lebanese Falafel is good, and they make a great fattoush salad to go with it. Lebanese people not caught up in Jihad are actually really nice. As @conormac says, before Oil Wars started Lebanon was a pretty happy multicultural melting pot.

A missing nuance to the story is that IDF's pullout from Southern Lebanon was championed by a movement called "Four Mothers" which decried the casulties the IDF sustained in the buffer zone seemingly for nothing. The protest movement was so successful that even Netanyahu, who ran against Barak in 1999, announced he would pull back from Lebanon because he understood he had no other way to beat Barak who made the pullout one of his key election promises. Another interesting story is that of The Army Of Southern Lebanon which was an arab militia that supported the IDF in southern lebanon for twenty years until it collapsed during the pullout. Their people were evacuated to Israel, at least those who wished to do so. What was left behind became Hezbollah country with no actual authority of Beirut present. And the rest is history.
Yeah, there's a point after which conflict just has its own momentum, even if the original reasons are long gone. The fighting becomes the reason for the fighting.
Israel withdrew from S-Lebanon to minimize or end a conflict to which there seemed to be no end, and the problems got worse. Israel withdrew from Gaza to minimize or end a conflict to which there seemed to be no end, and the problems got worse. There seems to be a pattern here, if only we could see what it is.

Well it seems the only option is to make some sort of peace deal. Or Israel has to take over a entire every country in the middle east. Maybe it was a bad idea to try and install a group of ideologically different people into the middle east without thinking about it.
@@Bklyngurl85Israel isn’t the west, and they know how to portray strength in the Middle East. However the west likes to bend Israel’s arm in Israel’s conflict in order to achieve western interests in the region.
Great video! I just wish you linked it to the current events occurring. Example: the mutual deterrence that both sides thought they had turned out not to be there. (just my opinion of course, I could be wrong)
Thank you cappy for finally exminig the conflict ! althogh you have made an iaccuracy Genral Ivry was the comandder of the IAF during the first Lebanese war in 1982 the chief in 2006 was General Eliezer Shkedi
earlier i asked you a couple of questions: Basically, you're very well informed and so you can describe and explain your thoughts well. This is why I'm anxious to know your background on ...well, any thing.
In summary, Israel faced hurdles mainy because of military leaders who were fixated in theoritical terms that weren't just working on the ground and were actually risking more casualties instead of reducing casualties as the intended goal.
You can't fight like the Americans unless you ARE American. Just because the corrupt politicians give you our hard earned weapons doesn't mean that you are elite
Exactly why Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan were failures for the US. We expected them to surrender, but the more you kill indiscriminately, the more enemies you create. I’m ashamed my tax dollars are currently being used by Israel to perpetuate this genocide. Western media refuses to face the facts.
I was part of the Air Force unit in 2006 responsible for the massive foreign military sale of munitions that supported the thousands of air strikes in Lebanon. It was a 24/7 operation for over a month straight just pumping out mostly JDAMs and AGM-65s. Despite having directly supported the war, I knew very little about the reasons behind it. This was a fantastic watch!
@@Robertsmith-un5cu our great nation wouldn't exist if other nations didn't pave the way for us, like France, and there would be no America if the French hadn't gotten "involved in foreign conflicts"
@@FarmerDrew May have taken longer, but we wouldve won our independence eventually. Our founding fathers wanted peace and friendship with all nations, alliances with none. Our republic was founded to protect our rights, our peace, and happiness. Supporting nations on the other side of the planet has absolutely nothing to do with that. No matter how many hypothetical scenarios you throw out there.
Halutz was the first and last pilot serving as chief of staff. All other IDF heads before and since had been infantry men (though mostly from the paratroopers brigade). It is very common for high ranking "green army" (i.e. not air force or navy) officers that after commanding a battalion, they "move around" and gain various experiences with different army positions - doing some armor, other specialized infantry ops, maybe combat engineering, so when they get to regiment command they understand a lot about the different forces under their command - or at least know what they don't know. Halutz rose in ranks doing only air force stuff and his only non-air force position was deputy chief of staff, before he got the main position. It was well understood that he didn't see the point of anything other than the air force (and to a lesser extent, navy) and it was a disaster waiting to happen, if there was ever a war on his shift. I was, BTW, one of the reservists that were called up for the war, and then my brigade spent the rest of the war sitting in our emergency deployment bunkers and wondering why everyone are complaining about missing supplies: all the supplies are here, just give us the command to go. 🤷
how come they didnt attack us all the years after? how come they lost the electios since? not only were they helping the syrian occupation of lebanon,they gave us excuse to ruin their infrastructure. they want it again,we can go again. we mizrahis have no where to go. if lebanon want war this time gaza war would look merciful,and we will see what the non shiite lebanese think. they didnt really like the palestinians during the lebanese civil war...now lebanon would be destroyed on their behalf
Not "we"--in this case Blinken and Sullivan because they seem ready to repeat the mistakes the US has made repeatedly by making the Israelis settle for less than victory, preparing the ground for the next war.
Just mentioning that this conflict has be ongoing since well before I was born in 1972. I have a good understanding of the problems talking to many people directly affected.
Bruh…Israel still hasn’t even achieved their objectives. War isn’t won by killing individuals, it’s won by achieving objectives. Israel is broken. And losing the world sympathy. They lost 7 months ago.

@@Beyonder1987Hizbollah controls areas of Beirut what are you talking about? They use the international airport to transport their weapons from tunnels underneath the airport.
The big issue is that many people leave every few years, so there's an implicit reset happening all the time. It's awesome that they can pick up new tech and ideas really quickly, but that lack of memory means repeating some very bad lessons....
Generation gaps tend to forget what their grandparents and before did. The media, politics and the outside worlds blur the lines and the stories get rewritten or outright erased. History repeats itself over and over, no matter how much tech we have in our hands and available, we are still savage beings at the core.
It's because since 1967 we are never allowed to be the one who start and only allowed to respond after being hit (or America will take away our military aid)

@@Bklyngurl85Israel isn’t the west, and they know how to portray strength in the Middle East.
However the west likes to bend Israel’s arm in Israel’s conflict in order to achieve western interests in the region.
After the UN resolution, Hezibolla was not actually disarmed. Even after the IDF agreed to withdraw. What does that teach you with UN resolutions??
UN is garbage
Israel begged for the resolution, not the Lebanese. Because Israel was losing and wanted out. Their PM later admitted they lost. L
Thank you for this information sir.
When I saw the title I was like "we're on war already? again?"
Crazy times...
The future is here
Did you even glance at the news in the last 2 years? lol
Please Leave Black American out of this!! We have our own issues to deal with.
Who are "we"'?
I also thought "it's already escalating??"
This channel is SOOOO good.
that report sounded very unbiased to me 🤷🏻♂️ great work 🤙
Very informative and honest take thank you for making this video
Great video! I just wish you linked it to the current events occurring. Example: the mutual deterrence that both sides thought they had turned out not to be there. (just my opinion of course, I could be wrong)
Thank you cappy for finally exminig the conflict ! althogh you have made an iaccuracy Genral Ivry was the comandder of the IAF during the first Lebanese war in 1982 the chief in 2006 was General Eliezer Shkedi
As a child of the 80s and 90s, i can assure you that S.O.D. stands for something completely different and very metal.
earlier i asked you a couple of questions: Basically, you're very well informed and so you can describe and explain your thoughts well. This is why I'm anxious to know your background on ...well, any thing.
Great video, made it easy to follow and appreciate it
In summary, Israel faced hurdles mainy because of military leaders who were fixated in theoritical terms that weren't just working on the ground and were actually risking more casualties instead of reducing casualties as the intended goal.
You can't fight like the Americans unless you ARE American. Just because the corrupt politicians give you our hard earned weapons doesn't mean that you are elite
Nah they just sacrificed their own to gain more support, both from their own citizens, and international
@@freddyfox5002 idf couldt beat khames so they take their revenge on their citizens
Probably if they stop opressing ppl. They wont have any hurdles in the first place
@@rayh.9130they dont oppress People
Always awesome
Great recap.
This video was timed perfectly
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks for the information
If your victory strategy is to expect the enemy to surrender from demoralization, then you should definitely rethink your entire strategy
isreal can only win if they can develop the stones to annex land from its attackers PERMANENTLY, everything else has been tried and failed
Exactly why Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan were failures for the US. We expected them to surrender, but the more you kill indiscriminately, the more enemies you create. I’m ashamed my tax dollars are currently being used by Israel to perpetuate this genocide. Western media refuses to face the facts.
Love the work that you're doing, Chris!
Great information ✅
I was part of the Air Force unit in 2006 responsible for the massive foreign military sale of munitions that supported the thousands of air strikes in Lebanon. It was a 24/7 operation for over a month straight just pumping out mostly JDAMs and AGM-65s. Despite having directly supported the war, I knew very little about the reasons behind it. This was a fantastic watch!
You confess about being a terorrist, you have no shame
The founding fathers would hate how much the US is involved in foreign military conflicts.
Neanderthal!
@@Robertsmith-un5cu our great nation wouldn't exist if other nations didn't pave the way for us, like France, and there would be no America if the French hadn't gotten "involved in foreign conflicts"
@@FarmerDrew May have taken longer, but we wouldve won our independence eventually. Our founding fathers wanted peace and friendship with all nations, alliances with none. Our republic was founded to protect our rights, our peace, and happiness. Supporting nations on the other side of the planet has absolutely nothing to do with that. No matter how many hypothetical scenarios you throw out there.
Great video!
REMINDER: That kissinger quote is correct regarding victory for conventional armies vs guerrilas.

Great video. Nice work.
Halutz was the first and last pilot serving as chief of staff. All other IDF heads before and since had been infantry men (though mostly from the paratroopers brigade). It is very common for high ranking "green army" (i.e. not air force or navy) officers that after commanding a battalion, they "move around" and gain various experiences with different army positions - doing some armor, other specialized infantry ops, maybe combat engineering, so when they get to regiment command they understand a lot about the different forces under their command - or at least know what they don't know. Halutz rose in ranks doing only air force stuff and his only non-air force position was deputy chief of staff, before he got the main position. It was well understood that he didn't see the point of anything other than the air force (and to a lesser extent, navy) and it was a disaster waiting to happen, if there was ever a war on his shift.
I was, BTW, one of the reservists that were called up for the war, and then my brigade spent the rest of the war sitting in our emergency deployment bunkers and wondering why everyone are complaining about missing supplies: all the supplies are here, just give us the command to go. 🤷
You do these really well. Thanks for the effort.
great video, never had a clue what happened back then
Now I understand why Netanyahu is so aggressive. He understands the history of this war and does not want to repeat past mistakes.
I live in Lebanon, and oh boy... here we go again.

Can someone explain the oversized beret that IDF sometimes wears? Is it used to break up their profile?
Yes and shade I believe
@@Disaster_Tourist thanks!
Not a beret, but a helmet cover
great video.
Great analysis!
My cousins from the east coast went to visit family in Libnan. During their visit, the war began. They had to be evacuated back to the states.✝️
Imagine thinking you can demoralise a resistance force that fought you for 15 years and kicked you out
how come they didnt attack us all the years after? how come they lost the electios since? not only were they helping the syrian occupation of lebanon,they gave us excuse to ruin their infrastructure. they want it again,we can go again. we mizrahis have no where to go. if lebanon want war this time gaza war would look merciful,and we will see what the non shiite lebanese think. they didnt really like the palestinians during the lebanese civil war...now lebanon would be destroyed on their behalf
These people are delusional lol
Radicalized by quran
@@rajeshVengadesan the existence of an occupier is more than enough to radicalise people.....religious ideology isn't the main cause

Another detailed and comprehensive analysis. Thank you. I understand that air power supports ground forces. Win = boots on the ground.
Great history report, we need to learn. Thanks
Not "we"--in this case Blinken and Sullivan because they seem ready to repeat the mistakes the US has made repeatedly by making the Israelis settle for less than victory, preparing the ground for the next war.
Great Video!! Very informative
Just mentioning that this conflict has be ongoing since well before I was born in 1972. I have a good understanding of the problems talking to many people directly affected.
Weaker than a spiderweb nashralla says yet look at who's eliminated now.
Bruh…Israel still hasn’t even achieved their objectives. War isn’t won by killing individuals, it’s won by achieving objectives. Israel is broken. And losing the world sympathy. They lost 7 months ago.
As if Zi0nist didn't assassinated his predecessor

Excellent presentation of military strategy - major missing information is that Israel bomber EVERY major bridge in Lebanon and hammered Beirut
Yup. And Hezbollah wasn’t even in Beirut
Yes they were
@@tomhenry897Hezbollah doesn’t have troops in Beirut. It operates in southern Lebanon but it does have support and agents operating through the country
@@Beyonder1987Hizbollah controls areas of Beirut what are you talking about? They use the international airport to transport their weapons from tunnels underneath the airport.
and still failed in their objectives lmao
very timely video
Thanks, Cappy
Sometimes I wonder if the IDF has any institutional memory. Similar fubar situations in '73, 2006 and worst of all, October 7th.
The big issue is that many people leave every few years, so there's an implicit reset happening all the time.
It's awesome that they can pick up new tech and ideas really quickly, but that lack of memory means repeating some very bad lessons....
Generation gaps tend to forget what their grandparents and before did. The media, politics and the outside worlds blur the lines and the stories get rewritten or outright erased.
History repeats itself over and over, no matter how much tech we have in our hands and available, we are still savage beings at the core.
It's because since 1967 we are never allowed to be the one who start and only allowed to respond after being hit (or America will take away our military aid)
@@ofer3000military aid they don't deserve
That's a survivor bias. You don't know how many attacks are avoided.
