The US will keep the Iron Dome well stocked as well as provide additional assistance.
However the Iron Dome is not that effective short range, hence Israel wants Southern Lebanon cleared of rocket launchers. There is also collateral damage from shooting down rockets, debris still comes down, as well as the intercepting missiles. Hence Israel wants to shoot them down before they cross the border, but that only works if they're launched from much farther.
The only way to achieve that is to occupy Southern Lebanon. Yet that simply moves the 'border' and Israel will have the same problem in the newly occupied area. Plus they need to increase the Iron Dome range again, more territory to defend.
So in the end, it's all futile what Israel is trying to do. Lebanon is no Gaza, and Israel can't even stop Hamas from firing rockets. Hamas has learned how to use unexploded ordnance for rockets and IEDs. Israel is providing them with plenty materials... Over 10% fails to explode.
On the other hand, Netanyahu needs some sort of 'victory', something to give to his followers. Annexation of the West Bank is messy and goes too slow. Plus more Western countries are starting to turn on the Settlers.
Resettling Gaza is also on the table but the International community has their eyes full on that. Still plans have been proposed to force everyone in Gaza out of the North including Gaza city to south of the Netzarim corridor. Where Israel cut Gaza in two, clearing (blowing up) 1 km on either side of the new military access road. There is only minority support in the Knesset for this plan so far.
Thus Netanyahu has his eyes now on Southern Lebanon. First to make it possible for the 60,000 evacuees, currently living in hotels, to return home. Yet Zionists have their eyes set on more land, Lebanon, Jordan, parts of Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia. The land 'promised' in the bible.

So yes, it will continue to be messy as long as the US keeps up their 'ironclad support' providing the bombs to continue.
And the risk is that Iran might say enough is enough at some point. Directing all its allies to overwhelm the Iron dome in coordinated attacks. Iran tested the limits of the defenses with their previous counter attack.
Netanyahu is playing with fire, literally. Just to stay in power as their are no realistic gains to be had here. Only making more long term enemies, radicalizing and driving more people towards the influence of Iran.
