Israel—may come out in support of the Palestinians soon after the conflict broke out—including members of Lebanon's armed friend Hizb. Along with the Israeli menace is their campaign of war. In the meantime, let me know that the Prime Minister's criticism of Israel by "targeting" Hizb security with rockets and weapons. They have warned of an attack anytime Israeli strikes fail to end the war in Gaza.
The Israeli daily Haaretz published an analytical report on Monday (October 23) about what kind of risk Hezbollah can create for Israel or how dangerous the weapons in their storage are for Israel. The information of rocket-missile deployment comes up there.
Hezbollah has gained extensive experience with Iran's support and aid to the government led by President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war, using which the group is said to have increased its stockpile of various weapons, including rockets.
According to recent estimates, Hezbollah has about one and a half million rockets and missiles, most of which are capable of hitting long-range targets. Multiple reports say the group has rockets and missiles capable of hitting targets hundreds of kilometers away from Lebanon.
Speaking to Haaretz this week, Shaan Shaikh, a member of the research team at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, warned:
"Syria, Iran and Russia can supply Hezbollah with more sophisticated and more accurate standoff missiles. This is a matter of concern."
According to an article published by the Institute for National Security Studies, Hezbollah currently has about 40,000 short-range rockets, 80,000 Iranian-made medium-range Fajr-3, Fajr-5, Khyber and Ra'ad rockets. There are also 30,000 long-range Jiljal rockets and Fateh-110 (M600) missiles.
Israel's Ministry of Defense says that Hezbollah fired thousands of rockets into Israel in the first few days of the war with Hamas. The group has the ability to launch 1500 rockets per day. In addition, in the past years, Hezbollah has strengthened the project of stockpiling weapons capable of hitting targets with precision.
In addition to its weapons stockpile, Hezbollah also has a large stockpile of anti-aircraft missiles. In addition, Hezbollah also has surface-to-air missiles and heavy air defense systems. This missile can hit targets in the air at a distance of 50 km.
In addition to its vast missile arsenal, Hezbollah has developed its own formidable force over the past two decades, based on a variety of Iranian and locally developed drones. Israel's Alma Research and Education Center estimates that Hezbollah has about 2,000 drones of various sizes and capabilities.
Hezbollah also has special commando units. This force known as 'Radwan Bahini' is believed to have the capability to fight with Israel. According to those concerned, the group could take control of many towns and villages bordering Israel by carrying out similar attacks as Hamas. Radwan's forces are said to have about 2,500 members, trained in Lebanon and Iran.
