Yes, Israel could _perhaps_ assassinate Nasrallah, or other senior Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon or Syria, although it would be terribly difficult and terribly dangerous for those involved.
I bet they'd have done it already if they really thought they could. It also would not provide anything resembling even a medium-term solution to the problem.
Israel cannot quietly eliminate Hezbollah and/or its advisors from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. That's what they are trying to do. The strategy is fraught with peril, and the deaths of innocents, but it is not insane. Perhaps better for Israel -- and Israeli civilians -- in the long-run than permitting the status quo to continue.
