Israel has every right to defend itself and should but your solution is, uhh, lacking. What SHOULD happen is the disolving of Hezbollah and Hamas or at minimum demilitarizing of those factions, creating a Palestinian state (which Israel has on the table) and having the Arab countries recognize Israel. But 3000 years of conflict might not end so quickly and won't end if Israel kills 'em all and and lets Allah sort 'em out.
Lets give diplomacy YET another chance, yeah that seems to work wonders. If you can somehow reason with the Palistinians then by all means go right ahead. I think they've shown they want nothing to do with diplomacy, all they care about are dead Jews.
