There may be two ways to look at it:

(1) As you describe (measured & restrained), because Hzbollah don’t have to do very much to frighten Israeli farmers into fleeing south, which then hits the economy with Moody’s downgrades etc.

On the other hand ..

(2) Hzbollah’s weapons seem to be of a purely offensive nature (the absence of, for example, air defense systems seems curious to me, I don’t have a full understanding of why, after so many decades of bombardment), while Israel’s are of both offensive and defensive nature.

Maybe after 35 years, Hzbollah is better off without Nasrallah? It seems to me they suffered from a little more hubris than hard-headed military doctrine? Leastways, Israel seems to have had minute-by-minute intelligence on Nasrallah’s location without presumably any wireless emissions, which seems rather compellingly “inside-job-ish” to me.

We shall see, I guess.
