I don't think they want to fight with Hezbollah as much as they want to clear them out of Southern Lebanon. As you say, Hezbollah is not exactly a "definable" enemy, which would make a prolonged occupation undesirable.

I think they're looking for the Lebanese Army and or an international force to come in and secure the area so Hezbollah doesn't have its own personal launch pad for rocket strikes into Israel.

If a radical group starting firing rockets into the U.S. from Northern Mexico, I think we'd take pretty much the same action there as Israel is taking in Lebanon.
