Talk:Operation Accountability

message: Personally, I'm in favour of removing the warning - I think it's a good example of an article where a handful of editors have all kept each other in check, and there's nothing Pro-Israeli, Pro-Lebanon, Pro-Syria, or anything else still evident in the article.  But I'd like to hear if there's consensus on removing the tag, from Berry and Rihani first :) Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 17:04, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Looking for an image or two would be nice - I find Israeli cobras during the operation on the IAF website, but hopefully one of you can find better :) Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 17:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, my default behavior on seeing images in a web page is to assume it is an ad and try to block it out of my mental view.  So I really don't care much about images.  Yes, I can see why it might be good to have one or two - I think a good one to have would be of a damaged village, but unless a reputable source states that it is from this operation, we shouldn't use it.

message: I can't find a good one sentence way of including a bit about the Israeli Security Zone in the background section without a bit of rewriting.  I'm going to put the old and new versions here, and if I don't get any feedback I'll put the new one up in a day or two.  (What is truly disappointing is that I can't find even a good one sentence description of the zone in any of the Wikipedia articles, never mind one that would fit here - and the article on the zone itself has been tagged for cleanup since October 2005.)

During the Lebanese Civil War, Hezbollah was among several militant groups formed in response to the the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon. Though chiefly funded by Iran, and later Syria, Hezbollah was believed to be receiving refuge from Lebanon.
When the Taif Agreement was created, it amended the Lebanese constitution to end the civil war, and disband all Lebanese militias.  Argument then arose over whether Hezbollah's existence in Lebanon displayed a failure of the government, a blind eye, or clandestine support. Hezbollah themselves claimed that the Taif's statement that it would continue to oppose Israeli occupation meant that as a "resistance group", they were actually protected by the agreement. Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah security general, also declared that while the Taif Agreement was a cessation of the Lebanese Civil War, Hezbollah had never involved itself in that war, and only existed to fight the foreign troops stationed in the country.  
In late June 1993, Hezbollah launched rockets against an Israeli village, and the following month attacks by both Hezbollah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine killed five Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers inside the disputed territory.  These actions are generally considered to have been the catalyst for Operation Accountability.

During the Lebanese Civil War, attacks lauched from Lebanon on Israel became severe enough that in 1982  Israel invaded southern Lebanon.  At the end of the invasion, they partially withdrew to a  security zone varying in width from 4 to 12 kilometers along the border with Israel.
