#2 Part of the subtext here is that Hizbollah gets its munitions from Syria and it gets its subsidy from Iran thru Syria. Without Syrian help Hizbollah would be seriously compromised.

Obviously if Syria pulls out Hizbollah could still bribe Lebanese officials to keep the flow of munitions going, etc. However, it would be much dicier for Hizbollah in this case and the heavier weapons would probably not get to them.

#3 Hizbollah needs to be attacked. It should a a dangerous thing to be associated with them.
