Does Hezbollah have any Anti air capabilities? If not the outcome is pretty much in Israel's favour they wouldn't need US supportNetanyahu really wants to drag the US into another forever war in the Middle East. Israel really is America's best Ally

The areas in which Hezbollah controlled is quite mountainous iirc
It's a good question, why are Israeli planes able to enter Lebanese and Syrian airspace with impunity?
No one has the courage to use air defense or simply does not have the ability to shoot down?
Are these groups in the Middle East really opposition to the US or are they just controlled opposition for PR like Bernie Sanders or AOC in Western politics?

For Syria, don’t they fire missiles from Lebanese airspace.

Didn’t see Hamas shoot down any Israeli warplanes but is the IDF really winning in Gaza?
For a conventional military trained and equipped to fight with air superiority or at least neutrality, going against an enemy with air superiority is going to be a catastrophe. But for irregular forces that has spent its entire existence operating under enemy air dominance, being bombed from the air is not going to unduly trouble them.
Besides, Hamas and Hezbollah have drained Israeli iron dome pretty badly already. It might be a bit premature to assume Israel will enjoy air dominance if and when it marches on Lebanon and Hezbollah starts raining rockets and missiles at Israeli air bases.
Hezbolah has kubs if I recall.
They have Kubs, Buks and even Pantsirs, though these are allegedly and more likely just Iran using third party actors to acquired such systems
I think most of that stuff is in Syria, I doubt they’d be able to hide it very well in southern Lebanon.
Not that I heard Syria ever shot anything down anyway.
So more tunnel warfare? Why would IDF start a war with Hezbollah, that would just make their situation more untenable
