Us arms and aid won't save the idf from hizbollah

If we're talking about just arms vs. arms, Hezbollah is far weaker. They probably have the ability to draw Israel into a lengthy guerilla war a la Afghanistan, which will eventually make Israel admit the whole thing is pointless, but that also would mean that Iran doesn't decide to join in the fight. I still think Israel would have the stronger military in that case, but the bigger issue there would be that out of those three groups, only Israel has nukes and they aren't concerned about the spread of fallout if they lob one at Tehran like they would be in Gaza.

Israel lost to Hezbollah twice before and they were nowhere near as strong now.

Lost in what way? In that Hezbollah still exists? Because see above re guerilla war.
