Hezbollah's Deterent

I read interesting article, which I can't find  on Hezbollah intentions and capabilities which says Hezbollah plans to attack Israel and seize territory.

I remain deeply skeptical about Hezbollah's ability to penetrate Israeli territory, much less take and hold any of it.

That said, despite the more than 1,000 casualties its taken in Syria, they have clearly improved as a fighting organization, which is most important. Of course they have the best equipped terrorist army in the world now. Personally I bet they could smack around plenty of NATO armies.

Tens of thousands of rockets, deep tunnel complexes, drones, naval commandos, anti-ship missiles, well trained, armed, led and motivated troops....Hezbollah has created quite a deterrent. Which seems to me is the point of all this.

Any conflict against Hezbollah will be far bloodier and nihilistic than anything they've fought before. The Israelis can count on hundreds of military and hundreds more civilian casualties. That's a lot in a nation of six million...whoops that number again.

Why create the deterrent? What's Hezbollah waiting for?

Why nuclear capability of course!
