And the private man on the streets? Was forced by Hezbollah with weapons to not flee from bombed villages in 2006 and serve as human shields that hopefully wpould get killed, to prodce healdines that could be used against Israel's air force.
It seems to me Hezbollah's credibility does not play a role. What they depend on maybe is good relations with Teheran, since it is Teheran sending them money and weapons. As long as this is the case, Hezbollah must not care for it credibility in others' eyes.

A sign of weakness in this whole deal.
They know it and Iranians know it.
