Hezbollah has 14 of the 128 seats in Parliament, and 3 of the 5 Shi'ite Ministry seats. The Parliament is split equally between Christians and Muslims under the constitution. Right now, Hezbollah likely has much more support than their seats represent; ultimately, Hezbollah would almost certainly like to destabilize the system and provide for majority Islamic representation in Lebanon.

I'm curious how many Lebanese would willingly concede the southern portion of the country controlled by Hezbollah to Hezbollah, effectively making them a nation state repsonsible for their own actions and no longer "shielded" by acting within the confines of another country.

Let's try for one more: one of Israel's most important protections comes from its aura of invincibility. After this invasion, that aura is badly damaged. Israel shouldn't risk it over anything but major fights.
