Israel has failed in its attempt to control the area south of the Litani, due to its inability to defeat Hezbollah.
You are ignoring facts, both on the ground and in the worldwide court of opinion, in your effort to restrict definitions. They have done what the lebanese army has failed and/or refused to do.
You also state a number of points that can be argued till we both turn blue in the face: Israel has been occupying and attacking Lebanon on a semi-constant basis, since at least 1983. This is its history, and it may easily be extrapolated to the future.
And, anyways, isn't this really just a fight between stooges?
