I'm not sure Lebanon cheers it so much as tolerates it. Partly because Lebanon is an Arab state and in it's heart of hearts questions the wisdom of a Jewish state at the expense of other Arabs. On the other hand (I believe), the government of Lebanon is based on a series of compromises, and allows for placement of different beliefs in different positions of authority. It's a fragile compromise at best, and agitating Hezbollah, with it's strong foothole in southern Lebanon, might destablize the entire country. If I understand correctly, Israel believes that if they continue to act militarily until it becomes unbearable for the citizens of Lebanon, then the government of Lebanon will help them sandwich Hezbollah and force the organization out of operation. It seems a bit of a stretch, but that, as far as I know, is Israeli policy.
