However, in 2006, the Israeli/Lebanon conflict involving Hezbollah, Israel was the loser. Hezbollah won that war and the IDF left so hurriedly they left a lot of their equipment behind.
By my recollection, Israel blew up everything in Lebanon that could possibly be blown up, then went home out of boredom because there was nothing left to shoot at.

Anti-Semitic vermin sure are despicable.
Those same scumbags will probably be whining bitterly when all the Palestinians are being transported from the West Bank to Gaza.

There were quite a number of Lebanese citizens with severe burns....signs of the WP chemical on their skin. For once Condoleezza Rice, belatedly, spoke out harshly to Israel saying they were not supposed to use that chemical on humans.
It is highly unlikely that Condoleezza Rice said anything so stupid.
WP is a legitimate weapon of war, and the US applies it to Islamic skin far more often than Israel does.
It is also unlikely that such burns are really evidence of WP use. Both the US and Israel use other more effective incendiaries. It is just that scumbags (of both the anti-Semitic and anti-American variety) seem to fixate only on WP for some reason.
The Battle of Fallujah in Iraq is the perfect example of this fixation. The US made heavy use of thermobaric devices to flash-fry the occupants of any houses suspected of enemy activity. This was a legitimate act of war, but it is also the exact sort of thing that anti-American scumbags love to get hysterical about. However, because they are all so stupid, all they do is yammer about the fact that the US used WP at Fallujah. They miss out on some quality hysteria because of their stupidity.

Again, I recall Israel wantonly bombing every possible target in Lebanon and then going home because there was nothing left to shoot at.
I recall being quite pleased at the extent of the damage done to Lebanese infrastructure.
