Let us suppose that Hizb-Ullah and Hamas did not retaliate to the initial Israeli aggression but made a pre-emptive strike on Israel and took the few soldiers as POWs. Israel has been holding thousands of civilians (Lebanese and Palestinians) for decades; this includes woman and children for resisting the illegal, ongoing occupation that is condemned by international law. Therefore, Israel has no right to complain for the actions of Hizb-Ullah and Hamas, moreover it is an occupational force that deserves to be resisted. Did Israel not bomb Iraq's nuclear reactor in 1982, so why the Zionist state can make pre-emptive strikes but not the Arabs?
