If you mean why did this current conflict begin, then here's your answer:

1- Hezbollah captured Israeli soldiers in order to perform some sort of negotiation so that they can exchange them for their own political prisoners in Israeli dungeons. Israel did not want to perform the exchange and decided to attack Lebanon instead. Hezbollah then had to attack back, and that's how it started.

2- It was not their agression that caused their country to get flattened, it was Israeli agression, because you see, If Israel agreed upon the exchange of the prisoners, none of this would have happened. Or better yet, if you want to think of the situation in a sense that Israel did not want to bow down to Hezbollah, then they could have just launched ground battles along the borders, because that is obviously where hezbollah fighters are located; but instead, Israel bombed random Lebanese cities including its capital Beirut, resulting in mass numbers of casualties and most are only civilians. In any case, if Hezbollah is able to pressure Israel to stop its military offensive, and force them to leave Lebanese soil, and exchange their prisoners, then Hezbollah has achieved their goals, and they would not feel bad about claiming victory. Hezbollah promised to rebuild the destroyed areas in Lebanon after the conflict is over, so at this point they are not worried about their country being flattened.
