46. I guess that depends on the meaning of "attack".

In '82 the nation of Lebanon certainly had no intention of attacking Israel. Syria was (and is) Lebanon's biggest enemy.

On the other hand terrorists operating out of the region continued attacking Israel. Israel invaded in June. The PLO fled Lebanon in August. By November Israel had returned the bulk of the captured territory continuing to hold a ten-mile "security zone" along the border until 2000.

I assume you mean 82, not 56. Egypt was the only Arab country involved in the '56 war.
