"Israel invaded Lebanon repeatedly, including in 1982 in an offensive that initially was meant to drive PLO fighters from southern Lebanon.
The war turned into a drawn-out military occupation of parts of the south, where Israel carved out a “security zone” meant to serve as a buffer against cross-border attacks by the Lebanese Hezbollah militia." So Israel invaded Lebanon and occupied the country where Hizbullah did not exist. But according to the Post, Israel "carved" a security zone to defend against Hizbullah attacks? This is like saying that the Nazi regime occupied France to defend Germany from the French resistance.
