Lebanon didn't start the conflict. Hezbullah abducted Israeli troops. Hezbullah=/=Lebanon. Not to mention that the troops abducted were 1) ambushed, hence they have a regular and predictable route and 2) on Lebanese soil - considered by most to be an act of war.
Not to mention that Israel started the conflict when they started reducing Beirut to rubble. So far they've killed well over 300 Lebanese civillians, 20+ holiday makers, destroyed Lebanese road structure and bridges, set to work destroying Lebanese infrastructure and reduced commercial docks and airports to rubble.
Even in war, civillian casualties and attacks are unnacceptable and nothing other than acts of terrorism. Israel don't even bother to target Lebanese Military (who have about as much to do with the whole thing as the average Lebanese civvie) let alone pinpoint Hezbullan fighters.
