I think if you ask the Israelis, they would tell you the perfect outcome is a strong Lebanese government with a strong Lebanese Armed Forces who is able to dismantle Hezbollah, to prevent them from these attacks, and ultimately to make sure they don't exist anymore as a military unit. That's the ideal outcome that the Israelis want, I think that's what the Lebanese want.
