For Hezbollah, responding will lead to a wave of devastating raids, similar to Gaza, with thousands of displaced Shia. Not responding will increase Israel's appetite for daily assassinations in Beirut and elsewhere.
Lebanese government will not do anything about strikes in its capital city under a ceasefire it agreed with Israel
I know you're not a naive guy. Beirut has international protection. There's nothing for Israel to bomb in Beirut. They cannot commit to a large scale ground op in Lebanon for as long as they remain deployed in Gaza.
This is simply Hezbollah being a scared people and organization. Scared to fight back.
Once Israeli's choose to do a random wide scale attack that lasts 1-2 days they will do it and destroy Hezbollah's weapons again.
It will all go to waste again.
They have a chance to just strike at Israeli soldiers on border or Israeli infrastructure inside southern Lebanon. Kill a few soldiers. It makes Israel hesitate to do such strikes in future. Will they attack immediately? Of course they will and they already are regardless.
Over time it will exhaust them and price becomes too high.
The ceasefire stipulates Hezbollah leave from southern Lebanon. Israel just assassinated the equivalent of Mohammed Deif in Beirut.
Also where is the rest of Axis of Resistance to say they'll stand behind Hezbollah if it comes under attack? Where are the useless Iraqi factions ? What are they afraid of ?
