Why war between Israel and Lebanon is inevitable

BEIRUT - Six years after the end of the "devastating" July 2006 war between Lebanon and Israel, tensions are rising (again) between the two states.
There have been different forms of provocations since the end of the conflict that could easily have lead to war, but nothing happened.
1-Numerous Israeli spy networks were uncovered in Lebanon
2-The Lebanese and Israeli army clashed on the border
3-Israel assassinated a Hezbollah general/commander, according to the chiite party
4-Israel kidnapped Lebanese shepherds and fishermen on the border
5-Israel violated Lebanese air space on a daily basis
6-Hezbollah continued to import and stock rockets and weapons
8-An international arrest warrant was issued against members of Hezbollah for the murder of Lebanese Ex-PM Rafic Hariri
Despite all these dangerous events, and up to this moment, the border between the two countries is calm. Threats and accusations are made on a daily basis between the two sworn enemies.
However, everything changed in 2008 when it was announced that huge natural ressources were discovered in the mediterranean sea.
At first, it just seemed like it won't be a big issue between the two countries, but everything changed this year, this month.
Lebanon wants gas and will fight for it at all costs, Israel wants gas and will fight for it at all costs.
Hezbollah hold the parliamentary and ministerial majority in Lebanon.
Hezbollah chief sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said yesterday he will attack anyone who threatens Lebanese ressources.
Well if this isn't a recipe for disaster, then what is?
