If the Israeli politicians allow the IDF to make a full scale invasion (which you will know in advance because of the extensive calling up of reserves), then the IDF will be a superior force. The IDF is already a superior force. They've called up something like 40,000 reserves, to free up the regular army. Hezb has what, 6000 fighters? I think the IDF's plan is to tempt Hezb into what they are doing, giving battle, and attrit them down to the level where the rest of the Lebanese can turn on them. Michael Totten & others who live in Lebanon are beginning to say that the Lebanese may be united against Israel while Israeli bombs are falling, but a week after the Israelis stop shooting, round 2 begins - and it's Hezb against the rest of Lebanon.
