I guess I must have missed something, because I thought this was supposed to be a response directed against Hizbullah, not Lebanon in general... because it wasn't the Lebanese military that kidnapped the soliders.
Oh and as for you example, please look into "Fenian Raids"...

Hezbollah is the strongest piece of the Lebanese government. Hezbollah votes. Hezbollah controls the entire South.
To me it's not over the top. On top of that Hezbollah has fired hundreds of rockets into Israel. Yes there weren't as many casualties, but not for trying. Hezbollah has attacked deep into Israel, not even along the border anymore. And Hezbollah has not returned the people it kidnapped. Obviously the Lebanese who support Hezbollah, the government which Hezbollah is a part of, have decided it's not over the top since they didn't stop doing what they're doing.
So until the rockets stop and until the Israelis are returned, nothing is over the top. I said it before and I'll say it again. Israel should kill 100 men within its prisons every hour until the hostages are returned.
I googled the Fenian raids. It sounds like a bunch of crazy Irish people that attacked Canada. And the US stopped most of them from attacking and then went and caught the rest and hung them. I don't really see the similarity but it doesn't sound like a bad deal for Canada.
