NATO forces have a reinforcement and escalation capability far beyond the IDF if they are attacked. Also, even Hezbollah wants to maintain the sympathy and support of some NATO members, so attacking their troops is more problematic, especially if there is large French participation, for example. That's why no US troops will be in the danger zone itself. I don't think it will work if Hezbollah decides to wage all out war on anyone except themselves in southern Lebanon. But if they sign on to a deal, NATO has enough force (and discipline) to do the job like they have in SFOR in Bosnia, which is a NATO force.
