"...During the interview, Barak also said the 2006 Second Lebanon War - in effect, carried out to stop Hezbollah armament - had actually strengthened the Lebanon-based militant group.
The defense minister said the the six years prior to the war had actually been some of the quietest on Israel's northern border, despite the growth in Hezbollah's military capabilities.
"Sharon and his leadership were wise not to respond to Hezbollah's strengthening," Barak said. "We went to war unprepared and unjustified."
