Was the 1982 invasion of Lebanon by Israel the first battle in the Israeli-Iranian war? While Iran had previously funded the PLO, by the early 1980s it was training and funding Hezbollah, which could serve as its proxy in southern Lebanon. This episode looks at Iran’s strategy, the rise of Hezbollah, and the profound impact of its signature tactic — suicide bombing — as well as at the Israeli embrace of targeted assassinations, and their deadly consequences.
