Know your enemy
I wonder if we can refer to the "war" between Israel and Hezbollah as a war of mutual respect between enemies.
(I wrote the word 'war' in quotes because no one knows if it is a "special situation" or a "conflict" or any other weird title, or simply "war".)
What I mean when I say a war of mutual respect is that we know that the Hezbollah rockets are very accurate, and if they want, they can target our chemical factories in Haifa and cause a huge amount of casualties due to the spread of chemicals in the air.
On the other hand, we are using our air force and navy only when targeting the Hezbollah and the infrastructure. We can enter Lebanon with our infantry by land, but we don't.
As long as this weird respect between us remains, the situation (In the short term at least) will not escalate to the extreme.
But, in my opinion, if the Hezbollah feels it's the end of the organization, I'm afraid all hell will break loose.

There is no respect among terrorists. If Hezbollah could do what you say they can, they would have done it already. It is much harder, and take much longer to deploy an accurate missle. Hezbollah knows it will be destroyed before they'll have a change to set it up.
Thank you for your comment.
I still think that Hezbollah can hit our chemical factories in Haifa if they realy want to.
Don't forget that for the first few days of the fightings, Hezbollah didn't fire on Haifa, they did it after the situation escalated.
In my opinion, it's the same case here.
Still, I sure hope you are right and they just can't.
