When Israel invaded and occupied the Lebanon back in 1982 Hezbollah did nOt exist.

It was the invasion, and the devastation it brought ,that created Hezbollah.

The Israelis destroyed Beirut and other cities and occupied southern Lebanon for 18 years .

Eventually the mounting casualties inflicted by Hezbollah drove them back over the border.

It is difficult to imagine but in the 1960 s and 1970s The Lebanon was known as the Switzerland of the Middle East but The Israeli war machine driven by Zionist extremists like Ariel Sharon [the Butcher of Beirut ] put paid to that.
