Under the control of Nasrallah, Hezbollah becomes a serious adversary of the Israeli army in South-Lebanon. Before its accession at the station of secretary-general, the combatants of Hezbollah conducted frontal attacks, against the Israeli army, leaving behind them tens of deaths. The strategy of the party changed under the impulse of Nasrallah, the attacks became more targeted and more effective. Increasingly regular death Israeli soldiers and the attacks against Israeli air defense constitute an important component in the decision of Israel to leave Lebanon. Consequently, the withdrawal of South-Lebanon of the Israeli army is allotted by much to Hezbollah, a perceived achievement as patriotic which reinforces considerably the position of this party on the national political chessboard.

After the Israeli withdrawal, Hassan Nasrallah carries out a complex exchange of prisoners with Israel, from the hundreds of Palestinians and activists of Hezbollah are released and the bodies of militants of Hezbollah are returned by Israel with the families. The position of Hezbollah is the complete withdrawal of Israel of Lebanon, including the Fermes of Chebaa, position which is supported by the Syria and by the Lebanese government.

In reaction to the popular demonstrations requiring the departure of the Syrian troops, Nasrallah on the contrary invited the Lebanese one to express to support Syria, one of the main allies of Hezbollah with the Iran, and to reject the intervention of foreign powers in Lebanon. The February 6th 2006, and after several months of negotiations between the Free patriotic current and Hezbollah, the general Michel Aoun meets Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to sign a document of agreement of 10 points relating to the future of Lebanon directly.
