Before Hizbollah (sp) kidnapped those soldiers, did they use to bomb Israel and Israel never reacted?

Can anyone recommend an "unbiased" website that gives a relatively recent history of this conflict? I'm sick of the one sidedness on here. I want to see exactly what went down leading up to this unfortunate mess over there.

    Israel invaded and occupied Lebanon from 1996 until 2002 (?) because of the constant barrage of rockets hezbollah was raining down on them and the apathy the legitimate Lebanese government showed about stopping hezbollah.

    you shouldn't rely on a website for information on this. You should read from many sources and need to go back to the history of the world in the era of say Napoleons era to the current conflict. There have been so many different levels of involvement

    from so many different era's.

    You won't find a website that truly is unbiased, or a single book, you have to view and read many, once you filter out the natural biased you will get the kernel of truth and understand the connections.

    Well, hey. If you're liberal, you think conservative sites are biased. If you're conservative, you think liberal sites are biased.

    No site is ever considered unbiased by everyone.

    State which you are, then I'll make suggestions for websites which you'll consider unbiased.

    *edit* Hey hicham (below), don't let the facts get in the way of your opinion, right? Israel did not occupy one square centimeter of Lebanon when this current conflict started.

    don't refer to recent history only. you can't pick apart the conflicts and look at them one by one. they are all connected and if you really want to find out the truth go back to 1948 and the Creation of Israel. you should also take note that Palestine was promised independence in 1948 from britain because palestine was a british mandate back then. btw, its virtually impossible to find and "unbias" article of any sort. I would advise you to read several articles taking a pro-israel point of view and several other articles taking a pro-arab point of view and see which one has more reasoning behind it. trust me you will have tons of fun learning about the Arab-Israeli Conflict.

    before hizbollah kidnapped the 2 soldiers they bombed israel once or twice but at that time israeli were occupying land in lebanon , and they bombed the israeli only to defend themselves knowing that the israeli have around 3000 lebanese hostages and they occupy till now land in lebanon, so i think its everybody right to fight for the freedom of their people and home land and in doing so they should never be named as terrorists

    They're using RPG shoulder grenades to fire at Israel, and it's way upside down over that and the Israeli Air force. The RPG's are American made too check out this site...

    it wasn't 1996, it was 1982 to 2000? because Lebanon was occupied by Israel, hezbollah was created like a resistance group.(thats what i heard from others)
