You can't ignore human nature in these lofty assessments of what people ought or ought not to do. The people were starving, with dirty water. Who's going to turn down help in that situation. So Hezbollah gets in the door.

Shortsighted, and stupid.
These terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah are only providing services, schools, etc. to "buy their way in" with a local population, so that later they can exploit that population for their own gain, which is exactly what Hezbollah is now doing. They only build schools so that they can indoctrinate the young with their radical, violent beliefs.
The Lebanese are now paying the price for their unwise alliance.
