I notice two trends. The first is the economic prospects in the areas where the trouble generally originates and the second is the average age of the population. According to the CIA factbook, in the Gaza Strip the average age is under 16 and about 18.5 in the West Bank. Compare that to the near 30 average found in Israel and Lebanon. I'd wager most of the members of Hezbollah gang are just that... a gang members little different from any other street gang backed by Iranian dollars.
