War in Middle East

These days another was has broken out in Middle East. This time Israelis are aggressively bombarding Lebanon’s infrastructural facilities, such as bridges, freeways, tunnels, power generation plans, airports and so forth. Now this is a multi-dimensional issue. On one hand, Israel is claming to do so upon its desire to promote security of its citizens who reside along the border of southern Lebanon. These people are claimed to be target of frequent missiles and rockets shot by Hezbollah into Israel's territory. By referring to UN's Resolution 1559, Lebanon must have cleared the southern part of the country from Hezbollah Militia, and maintain its control be sending Lebanon National Army to the region to serve as peace keepers. 6 years after that, Lebanon was unable to disarm Hezbollah and maintain its control over the southern borders. The question is, has Israel responded positively to all UN resolutions in the past? This is a logical question to ask. On the moral side, does a few missiles, with limited accuracy and destruction power justify such an aggressive offense against the infrastructures that are claimed to be used by Hezbollah?

Even if such harsh retaliation has some points of logic, the targets are so beyond innocence caught in the differences of Israelis and Hezbollah Guerrillas. One back by USA, and the other supported, financially and logistically by pro-Islamic forces in the region. In between, there is the nation of Lebanon who is paying the worst of it. Its facilities destroyed, its army dominated by militias, its people under the fear of air offences, and its kids living in the miserable unwanted war. Why should "they" pay for this??
