Yes. But my sense is that the line between Hezbollah's activities and normal government functions is much blurrier in Lebanon.

Hezbollah is not the Lebanese military. They are a paramilitary gang, comparable to the cartels in Mexico, that gained too much strength for the actual Lebanese military to deal with. Mostly because Iran trained fighters and sent weapons.
Actually a better example than the cartels might be the CIA sponsored paramilitaries in South America. Except Hezbollah is sponsored by Iran obviously.
