Now, the latest conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terrorist group, is dragging Beirut back into a cycle of violence, just as it was beginning to stabilize after years of chaos.Israel says its airstrikes are targeting Hezbollah’s infrastructure,

The Lebanese militant group captured an advanced Israeli anti-tank missile in the 2006 war, and its ally, Iran, reverse-engineered it, Israeli officials say.

The group’s supporters remain steadfast in the face of widespread displacement and thousands of deaths.

For years, Israelis were told that in the next war with Hezbollah, the Lebanese militia would fire thousands of rockets and missiles a day, overwhelming their air defenses, causing blackouts, death and destruction.

These missiles have a range of up to 10 miles and they carry advanced guidance seekers to track and lock onto targets.
