Hezbollah does not exist to fight for Palestinians. It was created to resist Israeli presence in South Lebanon, which in itself was a response to PLO attacks on Israeli territory launched from within Lebanon (e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_Road_massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_Road_massacre).
Any rhetoric by Hezbollah leaders to the contrary is just that, plus an excuse to maintain relevance following Israel's withdrawal from South Lebanon. After all, why maintain an extra-legal paramilitary force after it has successfully achieved the goal it was created for?
