On the second, the Lebanese army IIRC is full of Sunni Muslims, Christians and Druze. Anyone who wants to fight for Hezbollah already is.

If you are a Lebanese, and you are seeing Israel uprooting over 1M of your countrymen, destroying their homes, and seizing their land, permanently, you may reexamine your position.

But if you're Lebanon, and the Israelis do you the massive favor of removing the terrorist army that's been occupying 20-30% of your country for 40+ years,

One of the major provisions of the 2024 cease fire was that the Lebanese government disarm Hezbollah. The Lebanese government lacks the means, for reasons already discussed.

What would it take, for Israel to do the job?

The Israeli military is unable to disarm Hezbollah, as doing so would require occupying all of Lebanon, IDF officials said on Friday, adding that only the Lebanese government could disarm the group.

So, impasse.
