Name one plane or one weapon in Israel that can do carpet bombing? In short, none exist. Israel attacked Lebanon's airport (not Hezbollah's airport) at least 15 times with fighter bombers. Therefore it took a few days to clear the rubble, probably get some new fuel sources (because Israel attacked Lebanon's jet fuel facilities - Hezbollah has no jet planes but Lebanon does), and get an 'airport that does not threaten Israel' reopened.
