I really don't believe that they, Hezbollah, are surprised. I think that this is well calculated to get the very effect that they are getting. To claim surprise is like saying:

"Gee, I had no idea that guy would run after me when I stole his wallet"

Israel is in a hard position - damned if they act and damned if they don't.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah/Islamic Jihad work towards doing exactly what it has always claimed they want to do - kill all jews everywhere.
