Israel is going to win, if you determine winning as which side destroys the most targets or kills the most people. Hezbollah will consider it a victory if their organization can survive.

Assuming this war ends in Lebanon, I would guess that the result will be the same result as we've seen from similar wars in the past. Israel expands it's borders a bit, but even more people become radicalized and willing to fight against Israel and the USA. Any idea of peace negotiations with the Palestinians are out the window, remember this war started and is also being fought in Palestine. So we'll see an increase in terrorists attacks against western targets, more support for Hezbollah as it re-arms, and probably even more resources going into attempting another attack inside the US, unfortunately for us.

That is unless they draw Syria and Iran into the fighting. Then we're looking at a decade(s) long war across the entire Muslim world, front lines from Afghanistan to Egypt. It may even spread to places like Korea and Central and South America. This is basically what the American media is cheerleading for. Scares the fuck of me to be honest. I can't see how starting WWIII with us as the aggressors is going to be a good think.
