for all its warts, does not want to occupy and annex Lebanon. Its right wing government does not see that as part of 'greater Israel'.

It is correct in that Hezbollah (backed by Iran) is a force inside of Lebanon, a force that does threaten Israel with its supply of rockets.
However Hezbollah was weakened in the war in Syria, and does not pose an imminent threat to Israel destruction.
