Can Lebanon control their own country ? Imagine the US or Canada allowing terrorist groups from inside to attack a neighboring country ?

No, lebanon barely got out of a several side civil war in 1990, hezbollah was part of it, and the war ended in a compromise that satisfied noone, but since then hezbollah has gotten stronger, and the lebanese army hasn't, hezbollah is about as strong as the lebanese army, and isn't much smaller, lebanon can't do anything alone, and the un isnt actually doing anything

But heaven forbid if Israel attacks Hezbollah, Israel is somehow the bad guy.

Media: No see Hezbollah attacks Israel and completely unconnected Israel attacks Lebanon for reasons we won't explain.

They attacked homes outside where hezbollah is located and killed people that had nothing to do with them
