From Wikipedia:

In August, Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin was re-elected, and in September, Begin and his defense minister Ariel Sharon began to lay plans for a second invasion of Lebanon for the purpose of driving out the PLO. Sharon’s intention was to “destroy the PLO military infrastructure and, if possible, the PLO leadership itself; this would mean attacking West Beirut, where the PLO headquarters and command bunkers were located” (Smith, op. cit., p. 377).

Now:

In March, Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert was elected, and in July, Olmert and his defense minister Amir Peretz began to lay plans for a third invasion of Lebanon for the purpose of driving out Hezbollah. Peretz’s intention was to destroy the Hezbollah military infrastructure and, if possible, the Hezbollah leadership itself; this would mean attacking South Beirut, where the Hezbollah headquarters and command bunkers were located.
