I claim victory in the Israel-Hezbollah war

I didn't lose a single soldier or civilian. I lost no property. My infrastructure is sound. I fear neither rocket attack nor ground invasion. I have no need for international troops, nor can I be made to disarm. My capacity to inflict harm is the same as before the war. And my defiance is undiminished.

I win!

I think it's entirely proper and permissible that I claim victory. Everybody else seems to be doing so, and they can't all be right.
