Lebanon's southern neighbor, Israel, has also sent troops on several occasions, [[2006 Lebanon War|and attacked into Lebanon]] in response to Hezbollah kidnapping two Israeli soldiers. A possible source of friction between the U.S. and Lebanon is that most of Israel's weaponry is US-made, arguing possible US complicity in Israel's attacks.
