It entirely depends on how you define "strength".
The Israeli Army is certainly much better armed than Hezbollah and while Israel has invaded Lebanon in ground invasions, Hezbollah has never attempted a ground invasion of Israel. Hezbollah has no army that could contest Israel in traditional international combat (such as was seen during World War II for example). However, Hezbollah's effectiveness lies in its ability to blend into local areas and put its men into locations not easily discoverable to Israeli soldiers. This was why the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel War has usually been seen as a stalemate or slight Hezbollah victory even though all fighting occurred in Lebanon and Hezbollah incurred many more casualties; Israel was not able to remove Hezbollah from Lebanon as it had previously been able to remove the PLO from Lebanon in 1982.
However, to me, strength is about the idea to form a society where people desire peace and love in their lives even when their neighbors try to act divisively. In this way, Israel is clearly stronger. Regardless of any particular Israeli government, the leadership of the Israeli Army is disinclined from international conflict and openly differs to a civilian government that wants long-term peace (whose conditions vary with the politics of the day). Hezbollah has made clear that they are wholly disinterested in any peace or settlement, saying in their organizational charter that even if all of the Islamic countries made peace with Israel (including a future Palestine), they would continue to fight to oppose Israel.

Who won the Israel-Hezbollah War in 2006?
In the Israel-Hezbollah war in 2006, Israel was unable to eliminate Hezbollah nor their weapon stock, and Hezbollah was unable to protect the Lebanese villages from destruction. They both failed to reach their goals, but they both believed they won. The ones who lost are the peaceful Lebanese citizens, and the destruction of their infrastructure, while harming the tourist season and economy.
In pursuit of hezbollah which country did israel attack in 1982 and 2006?
Lebanon.It is important to note that the invasion in 1982 was to pursue the PLO, not Hezbollah.
Can Hezbollah invade Israel?
Answer 1Yes, they can as they have many allies throughout the middle east and Israel does not know where the headquarters are.Answer 2There are two parts to that question: 1) Can Hezbollah breach Israel's borders? and 2) If they can do this, can they sustain this breach?1) Yes. Hezbollah proved that it can breach Israeli defenses when they kidnapped the Israeli soldiers Regev and Goldwasser. This, however, was a coordinated attack with months of planning as opposed to a morning jaunt. Hezbollah needs to use a concerted effort to breach Israeli defenses.2) No. Hezbollah showed in the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War, that Hezbollah is an insurgent fighting group. Such a group can only fight a defensive war, not an offensive one that requires occupation of hostile territory. Hezbollah requires loyal allies to live in the territory to be invaded. Israelis (whether Jewish or Arab) have no love of Hezbollah and this would require the army to fight out in the open where the Israeli army is much more effective. It is telling that during the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War that the only attacks perpetrated within Israeli borders were missile attacks as opposed to military raids or direct combat. As concerns Hezbollah's allies, Iran, for all of its bluster, is not willing to expend military troops to bolster the regime of Bashar al-Assad (a regime it still financially backs) while Syria is in the midst of a civil war that Iran could effectively end. How much less is Iran interested in assisting an invasion of a country that has a far stronger military capability and where it has no internal allies.

What are the aims of the religious organization Hezbollah?
Hezbollah has published three main documents that list its objectives. In 1985, Hezbollah published a Manifesto which outlined its objectives. First, Hezbollah sought to expel the United States, France, and their allies from Lebanon. Second, Hezbollah sought to bring all Lebanese who perpetrated crimes against Muslims and Christians to justice. Third, Hezbollah called for a popularly elected representative form of government, preferably Islamic. Fourth, Hezbollah called for Israel's destruction.1 In 2009, Hezbollah published a second Manifesto, which outlined new objectives but did not retract the old Manifesto. First, Hezbollah renewed its call for a representative political system. Second, Hezbollah renewed its call for resistance against Israel, but stopped short of demanding its destruction. Third, Hezbollah called for better relations with Arab states. Fourth, Hezbollah called on the Arab world to recognize Iran as the leader of the Muslim world.2 Finally, in 2010, Naim Qassem, Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary General published a lengthy book outlining the organization's objectives. The book supported both the 1985 and 2010 manifesto and added some new objectives. First, resist Israel. Second, provide social services for Lebanon. Third, assist the Palestinian's resistance movement against Israel. Fourth, create a representative form of government. Fifth, create unity with Lebanese Christians and other religious sects.3 From these three documents, one can readily see that Hezbollah's highest priorities are to defeat Israel and create a representative government. Hezbollah continues to increase its military strength but it remains inferior to Israel's powerful military. During the 2006 War, however, Hezbollah did demonstrate that it could challenge Israel's military and inflict substantial causalities.4 Hezbollah also continues to gain political power in the Lebanese Parliament and now controls the cabinet. Nonetheless, Lebanon is bitterly divided amongst religions and a truly representative government that divides power fairly between Muslims and Christians remains in the distant future. 1.

Naim Qassem, Hizbullah: The Story From Within, (2010), these objectives are scattered throughout the book. 4.
