Do not be naive to believe about Israel telling everyone that they are just building up a buffer zone in Southern Lebanon. That is just baloney to fool the 'dull of mind'. Israeli troops will occupy that buffer zone forever and extend northwards, while plans will be made to build Israeli settlements like in Gaza. If Lebanon does not fight back, their outcome will be the same as the Palestinians in Gaza. They will be people without a country.
The problem with Lebanon is that the Government has been compromised by USA and Israel, having already intending to force Hezbollah to disarm and let Israel overrun the country. If Lebanon falls, there will be a great opportunity for Trump's son-in-law to build beachfront mansions to sell to the rich elites and Israel to build new settlements. Right now, huge numbers of Israelis have already settled in Cyprus, and everything will fall into place if Hezbollah fails.

All the decades of propaganda regarding Israel's 'Iron Dome' invincibility have been torn to shreds by Iran. In hindsight, it was Hezbollah that discovered the vulnerabilities of the 'Iron Dome' years ago, firing cheap crude home -made rockets to force the firing of highly expensive interceptors to take them down. Israel will undoubtedly survive, but not in the shape it was before the war against Iran. No more being the powers that be in the Middle East and that means no more expansion at will.
Similarly, all the decades of touting by the USA about protecting the Gulf states have also been torn to shreds. In fact, Saudi Arabia already had been given a rude awakening in the past, during the war against the Houthis, when its oil installations were targeted without the USA interceptors able to do anything to protect them. Now the Gulf states have realized they were paying the USA for protection through their noses all those years, with just hype up protection that failed to deliver. Which is why the Gulf states are wary of hitting back at Iran, knowing that their future protective umbrella is not what the USA can provide. Reports are surfacing that the Gulf countries are planning to set up joint military alliance to protect their own turf, which is making Trump panicky. Trump just insulted Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, telling MBS that he needs to kiss his ass now. That should be the straw that is going to break the camel's back.
Russia and China have enabled Iran to target sensitive infrastructures in Israel and USA military targets elsewhere, using China's multi-layered BeiDou satellite system that cannot be hacked to disable them, together with Russian intelligence regarding the whereabouts of those important infrastructures like military camps and aircraft carriers. Russia and China have also given Iran weapons that have caught the USA and Israel by surprise. Reports that 16 Y20 cargo planes with several consignments of Chinese weapons were sent to Iran before the war, for Iran to test drive them.
The migration of the GPS satellite system used by Iran in the past to the Chinese BeiDou system have reap tremendous benefits for Iran. The BeiDou satellites cannot be shut down nor hacked to disable them and were fully tested during the 12-day war in June last year. Then Iran was able to target sensitive Israeli infrastructures, which resulted in the USA calling for a ceasefire. It was a call to have time to regroup, rearm and studying how to overcome Iran's ability in targeting important infrastructures.
