Lebanon army doesn't protect Lebanon's interests and are not capable of doing so...for example their offshore gas which Israel is hogging.
Hezbollah is in the south in an area that used to be occupied by Israel and fought against it. They actually function as a military.
When the Lebanese army functions as a military rather than being a useless cowardly army that has no role besides security in their country than you could justify this to me.
Trust me, you don't know militaries of Arabic nations, they build up their military only to kill their own people.
Hezbollah is a deterrent against Israel and can protect Lebanon's interests.
If the Lebanese army interferes in the south and causes trouble this will give Hezbollah an excuse to capture every single dollar of military aid that went to the Lebanese Military.
When military aid is sent to start being men who aren't phased by the "big dog" of the Middle East than I will consider a legitimate army and support it.
That's not the case though, and all that effort and hard work gone into Lebanon in the past decade is not going to waste just because Saudi Arabia wants to eliminate all military threats to Israel.
if hezbo attacks christian areas of Lebanon expect a civil war and interference of foreign power , Hezbollah has enough shit in Syria to open another front with central government.
The west especially Europe have special interests in Lebanon particularly the maronite areas.
