...that I went to some effort to make obvious for you, so perhaps you simply ignored it:

"According to former chief of Israeli military intelligence Yehoshafat Harkabi, the 1982 invasion of Lebanon was accompanied by deceit at the highest political levels. Harkarbi cites misleading statements to the cabinet by Ariel Sharon and Begin, inaccurate announcements by Israel's military spokesmen and the Likud government's gross exaggeration of terrorist acts conducted from Lebanon. Defence Minister Rabin admitted in the Knesset that during the eleven-month ceasefire preceding the war, Israel's northern settlements had been attacked only twice and that during this period Israel had suffered a total of two killed and six wounded from terrorist attacks. These attacks had been preceded by Israeli strikes in response to the planting of a bomb on a bus and the attack on Shlomo Argov."

In other words, Israel MANUFACTURED the crisis that the invasion of Lebanon was meant to solve. In any event you asked for proof that southern Lebanon has anything to fear from Israel other than the current attacks, which would seem to be sufficient reason in themeselves-- otherwise, this is a bit off topic in this thread.
