Hezbollah, although fewer in number and inferior in technological capabilities, will royally screw Israel in a ground offensive. It is extremely hard for an army to root out Guerillas let alone get rid of them without many casualties, and casualties are something Israel cannot take. In other words, yes, the Israelis don't have it in them to go at Hezbollah man-to-man.

Of course they prefer doing air strikes than ground combats. A combat with ground troops on Libanez soil would mean the death of many Israeli soldiers where an air strike is more effective and safe for the Israelis. Truth is they kill lots of innocent civilians just like Hezbollah does but they also hit military targets. Sadly, that's just the way it is with war - innocents die for nothing - and there is nothing more we can do about it than hope that the civilians will escape from that hell to another country.
And Israelis are not brave - noone's brave at war - everyone just does what's best for him in order to achieve their purposes.

They already tried but they failed, but what's really surprising that they entered Bint jbail and Maron arras with big numbers and Hezbollah is fighting in groups there was 5 groups each group contain 5 people. so total 25 fighters against a whole unite of the Israeli army, and they kicked their a$$es.

Actually, Israel specializes in urban combat - they are superior even to the US in ground warfare in some instances. Anyway, they tried that a couple decades ago and it kinda sucked for them. They would probably try if they wanted to maintain a steady presence in there, but they've tried that too, and that plan also crapped out.

Israel was in Southern Lebanon for 20 year they just left in 2000 so they might not want to repeat history to much.
