For those interested in whose side the Lebanese army is on...
I found this on their website. It appears they view Hezbollah and Syria as "assets". No wonder Israel rung their bell.

From the Lebanese Army Official Website

Syria acquired through its long and strong military presence in Lebanon an upper hand in using Hezbollah to serve its strategic needs to pressure both Israel and the U.S. diplomacy in the region. The government of Lebanon fell under the Syrian umbrella and, consequently, took a back-seat position supporting the Syrian strategic posture, providing Hezbollah with all the legitimate political support as the main arm of the resistance.
These developments resulted in an unconditional Israeli withdrawal from South Lebanon, polarizing most of the Shi’a community behind Hezbollah and resulting in giving Hezbollah a leading role in the continuous struggle against Israel and in opposing U.S. policy, not only in Lebanon, but also in the region as a whole.
Lebanon, now, could rely on its partnership with Syria and the active regional role practiced by Hezbollah as assets to come forward as a player in the process of making peace or war.
