Description

David Honig is a Staff Writer for the Harvard International Review. When Israel carved out a nine-mile security zone in south Lebanon in 1978, it could not have imagined that its forces would still be there in 1997. Nearly 20 years have passed, and Israel still finds itself mired in what one popular Israeli newspaper described as "our little Vietnam." This description is not far from the truth. Recently, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has had significant difficulty dealing with its principle nemesis, the Iranian-backed and Syrian-sponsored Hizbullah. Furthermore, human tragedies such as the shelling of the Qana refugee compound which killed scores of Lebanese civilians in April, 1996, and the helicopter crash which killed 74 IDF servicemen en route to Lebanon in February, 1997, have forced Israelis to question openly the wisdom of remaining in Lebanon.
