Israel attacks Lebanon. Hizbulla are retaliating. But what Lebanon is doing? Is it not countering it?
Hizbulla may be a millitant or a terrorist outfit. But any how, Israel is attacking Lebanon. Lebanon is a sovering country. But no news comes that Lebanon is trying to protect its territory. Only Hizbulla is counter attacking. Whether that part is independently controlled by Hizbulla?? Does Lebanon not have any control over it?? Why this war is not projected as war between Israel and Lebanon?? Why it is projected as war between Israel and Hizbulla, even when the territory of Lebanon is involved??

Uh, Hezbollah started this recent fracas when they kidnapped those Israeli soldiers. Not that it is really part of your point.
Hezbollah does not represent the Lebanese government and the Lebanese cannot control them. So, what are the Israelis to do? They are fighting against an army that has no national affiliation (although most would agree that they are a proxy army representing Iran and Syria).
For that matter what is Lebanon to do? It's not like the government of Lebanon decided to kidnap the Israelis. But of course there are a number of poor Islamic Lebanese that support Hezbollah - so the Lebanese government is stuck. Can't control the terrorists, can't kill them.
So boiled down to the most basic facts, it is a war between Hezbollah and Israel. To reduce it to such a simple explanation though is to completely let Iran and Syria off the hook for being at the root cause of this problem in Lebanon. If they didn't support Hezbollah, then maybe Lebanon could control what goes on inside their borders and Israel wouldn't need to protect themselves from terrorists within Lebanon.

The Lebanese army is too week to fight against any other army.
All they have is some machineguns!
Hezbullah is the only force in lebanon which can stand against israel. they are well trained and well equipped with weapons suitable for the type of their missions.
Lebanon can't stop israeli air strikes . but hezbullah could stop the ground forces from gowing deeper in lebanese territory.Israel wanted to destroy hezbullah and Lebanon too but hezbullah defended lebanon.

It's the way the Zionist controlled media bills it to justify their attack upon the people of Lebanon... in fact the Israeli's call the Lebanese army Hez-bu-Allah... it will get to the point where basically Israel will attack every other country in the Middle East claiming that they are harboring Hezb-U-Allah... cause to a racist Israeli Zionist all Arabs are members of Hez-Bu-Allah....

Lebanon wanted Israel to defeat Hezbollah, as they are not powerful enough to do it themselves. It was not a war against Lebanon, it was a war on behalf of Lebanon.
