Did anyone know what Israel's reaction would be? It seems obvious Israel that had, no doubt within the context of much larger plans, intented on destroying Lebanon and carving out a space for itself, and was just looking for the excuse. The fact that this is a mid-term election year in the US and also the start of summer when probably people are on vacation and not watching the news carefully, was probably another reason for the timing

Hezbollah had to know that Israel would react, after all they had 11,000 missiles stockpiled ready for use.

I think we should end this discussion you seem unable to comprehend that had the Arabs wanted peace, Israel would have happily not spent billions of dollars on weapons. The Arabs don't want peace. had Israel wanted to they could have Carpet bombed lebanon. They have not so far. Hesbollah is using anti tank bombs and missiles btw, they were ready for this war, and wanted it. So they started it.
