Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option 2- B (To control the militant group Hezbollah)
During June 2006, Israel attacked Lebanon, saying that it was necessary to control the militant group called Hezbollah. Large numbers of civilians were killed and many public buildings and even residential areas came under Israeli bombardment. The UN passed a resolution on this only in August and the Israel army withdrew from the region only in October.
