>a defeat for Israel
False, Israel has used the whole war to take over Lebanon almost silently from mass media attention. They are about to annex a part of it.
They are at war because Hezbollah attacked... again.
Lebanon is about UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and 20 years on it not being enforced. UNIFIL failed spectacularly, looks like Israel decided to enforce it themselves.

"For the first time, a country enamored of compromises, half measures and trickery is watching these options vanish, replaced by a brutal choice: confront Hezbollah and risk destruction, or ensure it by doing nothing."
