WHAT ARE HEZBOLLAH'S OPTIONS?
Israel has its boot on Hezbollah’s neck. The pressure is unrelenting, and Israel is presenting Iran/Nasrallah with 3 options:

1. Agree to UN resolution 1701, a humiliating surrender and a retreat beyond the Litani River.
2. Continue absorbing massive damage to its military capabilities without being able to respond meaningfully.
3. Taking the bait and doing something that will give Israel the legitimacy to start a full-scale war.

Hezbollah does not have unlimited time to choose. I assess that Israel will continue to escalate dramatically until the High Holidays are over and the elections in the US (Nov 5). If nothing changes from Hezbollah until then, Israel will initiate a full-scale war regardless of what anyone else wants.
