I think that expelling all shia muslims from the recently conquered territory is a bit more than defending oneself.

It is. Actions go beyond what is minimally necessary to ensure security but without attacks from Hezbollah there would be no military actions in Lebanon. Israel doesn't attack Jordan or Egypt because they don't host Iranian backed militants who do attack. Lebanon will be in the same position if Hezbollah will be gone (which is not given).

    Without attacks from israel, there would be no response from Lebanon, Palestine, Iran, etc.
