    All of your examples were of supporting existing local insurgencies in order to help them frustrate foreign conventional occupying forces. The occupiers did not have to choose between victory or death, but could at their leisure withdraw. Having that option creates increasing political pressure to withdraw over time. The is exacerbated by military conscription to an unpopular war and a lack of ideological unity in the occupying nation. This is not the circumstance with Hezbollah.

    Read ‘Mao Zedong’s Principles of Peoples War’ to understand the dynamics of a mid-20th century insurgency, and have a foundation for how that has adapted with technology.
