After the Israeli withdrawal from South Lebanon, Khalid Bazzi returned to Bint Jbeil and continued his involvement with military activities. He was made responsible for "capturing" operations. He took part in the Ghajar raid in 2005, when four Hizbullah fighters were killed in a failed attempt to abduct an Israeli soldier. Bazzi organized 2006 Hezbollah cross-border raid, in which eight Israeli soldiers were killed and two were abducted. This triggered the 2006 Lebanon War.
