Lebanese prisoners in Israel became a point of dispute between Lebanon and Israel and a factor in the 2006 Lebanon War, which began with a Hezbollah cross-border raid. In 2010 the opening called Hezbollah the Lebanese militant organization. Today the opening calls it 'the Lebanese paramilitary and political party,' though militant survives twice elsewhere in the article. A reader arriving now learns Hezbollah is described as a political party, not that Wikipedia's own opening once called it a militant organization.
