Renew the Fighting

By Gldmeier @gldmeier
So the ceasefire with Hezbollah has been officially announced by PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
As I have said, if the government and the security forces are ok with the arrangements and feel our borders will be secure, I am ok with a ceasefire. 
My question is, with PM Netanyahu stressing that we will retain the right to renew military activity in Lebanon should Hezbollah violate the agreement -if a rocket is shot, a tunnel dug, a truck carrying weapons enters Lebanon - we will attack. Netanyahu even pointed to Gaza and said regarding the ceasefire (last year) in Gaza they also said we wouldnt really renew the fighting and oh boy did we renew the fighting!
Everything sounds 100% correct
The thing is if this arrangement can work in Lebanon, why cant it have worked in Gaza this year? Netanyahu and his government repeatedly rejected the possibility of a very similar arrangement saying - they'll really let us renew the fighting??? We all know they wont!
Why can this work in Lebanon but not in Gaza which also would have freed the hostages?
