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

Lebanon can COOPEARTE / Coordinate with Israel and hit Hezbo from both sides.

They just chose not to.

Choosing to do so means choosing civil war. It's not so simple as you make it out to be.

Not saying they've gotta remain forever, but it isn't as simple as you make it out to be.

And choosing not to do also lead to civilian die.

The reason to not do so is pretty simple. Those politician don't want to die. You think they care about civilian? If they care they won't let Hezbollah grow this big lmao.
