What would have happened if Hezbollah had been vanquished? That is perhaps the most significant and upsetting question about the 2006 war. How did a seemingly primitive gorilla group defeat one of the world's most advanced military powers? These questions become more significant when we take into account the fact that Israel had been the victor in two major wars in which it had to face armies of various Arab nations all at once. In the past century, Israel had engaged in two major wars, one in 1948 and another in 1973 and despite its initial losses it manages to turn the table in the end and came out even stronger. The weak will of most Arab leaders engaged in the war and the world support for Tel Aviv notwithstanding, these victories gained the formidable Zionist Army the reputation of invincibility. But in 2006 and in a battle that lasted for 33 days, a group of iron-willed, well trained resistant fighters, who lacked the Arab leaders' knack for compromise and negotiations, shattered the myth of Israel's indomitability. In this well-researched series we go back in history at first to see how the Israeli regime came to existence and how it defeated Arabs in previous wars. Then Hezbollah's birth and background is investigated and in the final episode more shocking details of how the Islamic Resistance Group managed to deliver successive blows to Israel's war machine is brought to light.
