Israel occupied the country because when they didn't, every few years Lebanon invaded Israel.
Do you think Israel wanted to occupy Lebanon? What did they gain from it, other than Israeli deaths? They are not imperialistic, Lebanon has nothing to offer them, they were forced to occupy as the only way to prevent the constant invasions. Moreso, they gave it back in its entirety six years ago. You keep talking about Shebaa Farms, this land was Syrian, never Lebanese. It is also a tiny, worthless piece of land which Israel has no interest in other than as a buffer against future invasions, which are inevitable.
