Quotation following is a partial assessment of Lebanon from the US CIA World factbook --- link above.
---
Since the end of the war, the Lebanese have conducted several successful elections, most of the militias have been weakened or disbanded, and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) have extended central government authority over about two-thirds of the country. Hizballah, a radical Shi'a organization listed by the US State Department as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, retains its weapons. During Lebanon's civil war, the Arab League legitimized in the Ta'if Accord Syria's troop deployment, numbering about 16,000 based mainly east of Beirut and in the Bekaa Valley. Damascus justified its continued military presence in Lebanon by citing Beirut's requests and the failure of the Lebanese Government to implement all of the constitutional reforms in the Ta'if Accord. Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in May 2000, however, encouraged some Lebanese groups to demand that Syria withdraw its forces as well. The passage of UNSCR 1559 in early October 2004 - a resolution calling for Syria to withdraw from Lebanon and end its interference in Lebanese affairs - further emboldened Lebanese groups opposed to Syria's presence in Lebanon. The assassination of former Prime Minister Rafiq HARIRI and 20 others in February 2005 led to massive demonstrations in Beirut against the Syrian presence ("the Cedar Revolution"). Syria finally withdrew the remainder of its military forces from Lebanon in April 2005. In May-June 2005, Lebanon held its first legislative elections since the end of the civil war free of foreign interference, handing a two-thirds majority to the bloc led by Saad HARIRI, the slain prime minister's son.

Israel's targeting, sources from news reports, include Lebanons' primary ports: their fuel terminals in particular; Beirut International Airport; and other of the seven airports.
Other targets, allegedly all only Hezbollah, would be field centers alleged bases --which by Israel's reckonng are in office buildings and apartments in Beirut and coastal residences; highways and major intersections and bridges; and anything vehicle which could conceal and carry a missile or rocket (ie something the size of a wall to wall carpet roll).
Actually Israel could give a greater damn about the missiles which are still falling on Israel with greater numbers than the nuisance value rockets before this war -- as Israel's Military (ludicrously even in fascistic form are called the IDF: Israeli defense Force) is merely targeting the customary national parts which could convey military resistance or external help to stall or impede its long planned military ground invasion. (That seems to be a cbon cop of the invasion to chase the PLO out of Lebanon in the 70's.)
Israel's other real mission is also ASSASSINATION -- of the Sheik styled the executive commander of Hezebollah. (a deputy in the Lebanese Parliament or Minister of its government?) ..this means a shell game and an Israeli property distruction holiday for any of the tipped buildings in Beirut or Lebanon. Like Israel's obsessive Palestinian madness, this means many residences and neutral office buildings .. with a razing and bombing as in Gaza.
This afternoon (07-19-06) CNN reported Israel as targeting missile and rocket manufactories -- hence this would be anything from a cheap 'chop shop'for automobile-rebuilding to, again, wall to wall carpet tubes.
Israel is adamantly amidst 'theatrical?' depictions of ground destruction from Beirut praising its restraint, and trying desparatey to sound like the limited precision bombings of the US military and its coalition in Baghdad during that war's start (ie a simple brideg disabled without its full destruction). That this will damage and impede Beirut metropolitan refugees without good rail or rail mass transit since the civil war's end is Israel's calculated forfeiture of collateral risk.
That is Israel's folly and problem ... evrything to that schizoid nation will be Gaza-North, Gaza-West etc -- and to make matters worst, Likud's coaltion and other Israeli's, keep telling people that they are just like the United States of America in their aims and actions.
We'd guess now, that they mean George Bush Jr. since most don't really know Americans. In the majority muting and pliancy -- they behave like exfiltrated Soviet citizens.
This war must end ... a ceasefire is absolutely necessary for lifesaving --a job of governments. Israel cannot be allowed a solo act to do what Lebanon was politically doing with international help -- by the US CIA's own published reckoning above.
This world and this citizen cannot and should not tolerate GAZA North as Israel's Lebanese solution.
If the Israeli government cannot be outvoted at home to change course--- it mst be ordere to halt by the UN; and addressed by a coalition of nations -- I'd actually voluntary my manpower for that!
And, imagine the USA saying NO to Israel again? It did with President Eisenhower in 1956 - Suez War; and in other less publicized Israeli fiascos and fantasies. If the American answer is still an unresponsive, irresponsible stance, then please remember our 2006 voting power in the USA and use it.
As to Lebabon? ..according to George Bush Jr.'s mind, evidently, we'll help re-build everything .. bury folks too. Just like New Orleans.
One more thought -- Slobodan Milosevic hated anyone and anything which didn't like him; or wanted no part of him --drove him to destroy it --even his coutry's architectural treasury because it wanted to leave him -- the Israeli's couldn't care less about Beirut and Lebanon's damage because ... "they don't feel welcome there .. they don't go there " -- Israel has the detachment not of national safety -- but of hatred ... national hatred - - a bad psychosis.
