Lebanon can't challenge Israel by design
The Lebanese state is structurally incapable of military resistance to Israel, which is exactly the point. That setup forces Hezbollah as the only viable alternative to a collaborationist, corrupt government that rubber-stamps whatever happens.

This is the entire game.
