Hezbollah’s Arsenal Poses Major Threat to Israel, Washington Post Reports
The Washington Post has revealed that Hezbollah, the Lebanese resistance movement, possesses a formidable array of weapons that could potentially overwhelm Israel’s air defense systems in the event of a full-scale war. With between 130,000 to 150,000 rockets and missiles at its disposal, Hezbollah outnumbers its ally Hamas in terms of firepower. Additionally, the group boasts over 100,000 soldiers, making it a significant military force.
Hezbollah’s arsenal includes guided missiles, ballistic and anti-ship missiles, as well as drones of varying capabilities. The report suggests that Hezbollah could pose a unique challenge to Israel, with the potential to target Tel Aviv and even occupied Jerusalem. This has raised concerns of a wider regional conflict, as tensions escalate between Hezbollah and Israeli forces.
The ongoing exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israel, ignited by Israel’s aggression in Gaza, has resulted in numerous casualties. Hezbollah has vowed to continue its retaliatory attacks in response to Israel’s actions in Gaza, further heightening the potential for a larger conflict in the region.
