battle" does the article's headline reffer?
It reffers to the battle that Israel has been having with Palestine since it was created.

e) Why does Iran have much at stake in the outcome of the current crisis?
Because it sponsors Hamas and Hezbollah to spread its influence in the Arab world. A defeat of Hamas would undercut that strategy.

Israel’s attacks also could fail outright, and history suggests that as the more likely scenario, Middle East experts across the political spectrum said.

j) Why does Mr. Abbas say he will walk away from the peace talks begun by President Bush in 2007?
Because fighting was emboldening palestinian resistance.
k) What lessons has Israel learned from Lebanon?
Israel has learned to lower expectations and this time Israel is more prepared.
m) In what way is the timing of this renewed battle beneficial?
It came before president elect Obama went into power.
