Same here. I supported them in 2006. They are a legitimate movement among Shia Arab Lebanese in the South. If the locals are content being ruled by them, I am not going to object. I don't see them murdering their own people like the Al-Assad regime.
However all this changed after their demonic involvement, crimes etc. in Syria and Iraq. Or learning about their drug/mafia like organization and hijacking of Lebanon. Not to mention the murder of Hariri which occurred prior to 2006.
I can tell you that this is the position of almost every Arab that I know. 90% + I would estimate.
They even lost a lot of support among Arab Shias.
People realized that they are just (mainly) an Iranian proxy whenever they intervene in non-local events. As seen in Syria.
Otherwise a supposed Islamic movement like Hezbollah would not be supporting a bloodthirsty secular Ba'athi regime.
I am sure that they will remain in some form (politically mostly probably) long after the Iranian regime is gone and by then, relations with Arab countries will probably be cordial.
As a historical side note and curiosity, a lot of people in Southern Lebanon and Mount Lebanon area are originally from KSA. Since pre-Islamic times. Also among the Druze. This is why KSA and Druze in both Syria and Lebanon have had cordial ties.
See this Lebanese Druze Twitter user for more information, he is much more knowledgeable than me in this regard.

Almost all their Sadah families migrated from Hejaz. Nasrallah's own family migrated to Lebanon in the 1800's.
Modern Lebanon was founded by them.
