Back to the war grind.
Just as with Gaza, 'defeating' Hezbollah isn't going to make Israel safe. Israel is only turning more people against them and for what? To keep the genocide in Gaza going. The offensive in the North hasn't solved the displacement, only caused more casualties on both sides while making Lebanon only more unstable and thus further ground for terrorist groups to thrive.
The only interests served here are Netanyahu's and those vying for greater Israel. These are the lengths Israel has to go through to support continuous expansion, into the West Bank, into Lebanon, into Syria. (Where Israel is currently building on the blue line)
