When your enemies are destroying themselves you should not interfere.

Well from Saudi perspective I don't think they'd like Hariri to resign. Hezbollah probably doesn't want this to happen. We will see how the situation develops though. It's a little early to know.

I don't think his decision was a unilateral one. He for sure must have consulted Saudi Arabia.

Hezbollah attempts shooting down an Israeli drone of this kind in Lebanese airspace:

IDF says the missile failed to hit its target. Lebanese report explosion heard in Lebanese town. Likely the AA missile prematurely exploding in the air.

Timing likely related to protests.

Saudis don't like to see destabilization any where in the region, least they like to see them selves as part of it.
