Arab-Israeli conflict over the past decades has been the oldest problem in the Middle East. There have been four wars in this area during 2004-2014 decades. The main research question is: “What were the Israel’s aims in the wars against Hezbollah and Hamas?” In response it seems that concurrent with destruction of infrastructure in Lebanon and Palestine, the Israel’s aims of these wars have been related to the balance of power in the Middle East. In this way, Israel has shaped its regional policy with the aim of balancing power in the Middle East and creating further gaps between the countries of the Islamic world and the Palestinian and Lebanon supporters. Thus, the Arab-Israeli wars during the past decade could be interpreted as a conscious challenge to undermine the balance of regional power. This research aims to review the four Israel wars over the past decade. The results show how dominant culture on balance of power influence the perceptions of different countries and the results of the wars and how balance of power are determined by the actors in this field.
