Beirut: There is an ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel. Despite continuous air strikes, Israel is not able to eliminate Hezbollah. The biggest reason for this is that Hezbollah is the largest military organization in the world, which is not related to any country. Hezbollah has been carrying out some attacks on Israel since the Gaza war began last year. But the conflict has increased since last week. Israel is continuously trying to harm Hezbollah by attacking. But the power of Hezbollah is so great that it is not so easy to eliminate it. Let us understand.
drone
Hezbollah has dangerous drones, which it uses to monitor Israeli targets as well as attack them. In November, Hezbollah used a drone packed with explosives. Then an Israeli army post was attacked in the Golan Heights, in which two Israeli soldiers were injured. It has used drones in an attempt to destroy the Iron Dome.
rocket
Hezbollah has an estimated 130,000 rockets and missiles. He has been collecting these after the conflict with Israel in 2006. It also has Falak-2 rocket which can hit up to 10 kilometers. It also carries larger weapons than the Falak-1. Hezbollah has several rockets, including the Fajr, Khaybar, Raad and Jiljal, which have a range of 40–200 km. They have powerful payloads that can carry between 50 and 600 kg of weapons. The Hezbollah chief has said that some of these can be converted into precision strike missiles.
long range missile
Hezbollah reportedly has Iranian Fateh 110 missiles. Their range is 200-300 km and 300-550 km. Andreas Craig, professor of defense studies at King’s College London, said that Israeli air strikes on Lebanon last week destroyed a large number of short and medium-range missiles, Middle East Eye reported. But its most deadly missiles are not above the ground but below.
air defense
Hezbollah will suffer the most damage from Israeli air strikes. But Hezbollah also has air defense weapons. It also has anti-aircraft, anti-tank and anti-ship missiles. Iran-made 358 anti-aircraft missiles, among other surface-to-air weapons, were used to shoot down an Israeli drone in October last year. However, it cannot stop a major airstrike, as Israel’s Iron Dome does.
ground forces
Due to continuous air strikes from Israel, it is not deploying armored vehicles. However, Hezbollah reportedly has T-55 and T-72 tanks and other weapons. According to the figures of 2022, Hezbollah has 20 thousand active soldiers and 20 thousand reserve soldiers. Many of them have experience of fighting in the Syrian war. It is not yet clear whether Israel will enter Lebanon and wage war or not? According to the report, if Israel attacks, the Lebanese army will also join the field along with Hezbollah. Also, there are deep tunnels in the rocky areas of Lebanon.
