Looks like Hezbollah has really raised the escalation ladder. In two days they have fired over 300 missiles and drones into Israel. Also in a Foreign Policy article a Quds force spokesperson is quoted as saying Hezbollah has over million forms of rockets,atgms,missiles and drones. So Hezbollah has far exceeded the 150k missiles that was first reported back in 2010. This all means that Hezbollah right now is unleashing a significantly smaller number of its firepower on Israel which has created chaos. At this point it really is not wise for Israel go through a full scale war. Hezbollah has the capability to fire 6 or even 9,000 rockets,drones and missiles at Israel every day in a full scale war. They have to come to the realization that they no longer have deterrence. Hezbollah at this moment is toying with Israel.

It wasn’t toying. That was retaliation. What the tweet left out was that Israel killed a top senior Hezbollah commander and it triggered a retaliation against Israel. Since the fighting started, the death of the commander for the central regions is now the highest ranking member of Hezbollah that has been killed.

Any retaliation is always presented as a new round of hositilities initiated against innocent Israel.

This means Lebanon's own army is a boy scout camp compared to Hezbollah, Surprised they haven't tried a coup

Is not like Lebanon has much of a government to coup, to begin with, though. Plus they already have members in the cabinet and control the majority of the Parliament through alliances.
Lebanon shouldn't even be a country to be honest. Its a semi failed state with little to no government. The government has no real power to enforcement any rules or even maintain security. A country that's almost bankrupt and has to rely on handouts and loans from KSA, Gulf states, IMF/Western powers and is basically controlled by a militias who decides her security and sovereignty issues. It's actually crazy when we think about it. It's like China during the warlords era. Sad reality.
Anyway, Hezbollah the militia group is basically detacto rule maker in Lebanon. Since the state is a failed state already which makes it easier for militia group to prosper and fill the vacuum..
