Israel shocked by Hezbollah airstrikes, rocket and missile attacks and people hiding in bomb shelters – Hezbollah

Israel and Hezbollah have been carrying out air strikes against each other. In this situation, a state of war is forming between Israel and Lebanon. In the latest attack on Sunday, Hezbollah attacked Israel with rockets, missiles and drones. According to reports, Hezbollah launched more than 100 rockets, missiles and drones in northern Israel in the early hours of Sunday, causing chaos in the area. The attack was also confirmed by the Israel Defense Forces.

The IDF says Hezbollah is constantly targeting its people. On Sunday morning, more than 140 rockets and drones were fired into the Jezreel Valley. Since then, alerts have been issued near several military bases, including Haifa, Ramat David Airport, Nazareth, Afula, Lower Galilee, etc. “Hezbollah’s terrorism targets our civilians,” the IDF wrote on one of the signs. Thousands of Israelis have been hiding in bomb shelters all night. Rocket rain has passed over their heads. Some have also fallen on their houses. Rocket warning sirens have been sounding continuously throughout the night.

After this attack, Israel also retaliated. Their flanks also launched hundreds of missiles. However, after the explosion of pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon, the world thought that Israel would remain silent for a few days and adopt a wait-and-see strategy to predict the enemy’s next move, but here, Israel did it with a rapid attack. He has said that he will not stop now. In this war, he will not stop until the enemy is completely destroyed. His continuous attacks are proof of this.

This problem started with the pager explosion in Lebanon on September 17 and has now developed into air strikes. Israel is causing serious damage not only with drones but also with fighter jets. After the pager and walkie-talkie explosions in Lebanon, Hezbollah fired several rockets at Israel, but even Hezbollah itself did not expect Israel to give such a proper response. Because he still has the first wounds caused by the pager and walkie-talkie explosions.

After these attacks between Israel and Hezbollah, there is a possibility that the war will escalate further. If things escalate, then this matter will not only affect Israel and Hezbollah, but also Israel and Lebanon. In this case, if the two countries break out into a face-to-face war, what will be the result? How does Lebanon’s military strength compare to Israel? So let’s try to understand this capability of the two countries.

There is a border of about 130 kilometers between Israel and Lebanon. This is the northern part of Israel and the southern part of Lebanon. It is also known as the Blue Line. Although Israel has been repeatedly challenged by Hezbollah, which has flourished on Lebanese territory, Lebanon as a country cannot match Israel in terms of military strength. When it comes to the Global Firepower Index, Israel ranks 18th out of 145 countries in the world, while Lebanon is far behind, ranking 111th. This means that there is no competition in capabilities between the two countries.

Now let’s try to understand the advantages of both countries on different parameters. If we talk about the number of soldiers of both countries, Lebanon cannot compare with Israel. Lebanon has only 80,000 soldiers, while Israel has 107,300 soldiers. This means more than twice. Similarly, Israel also has a reserve force of 406,500 people, while Lebanon has no reserve forces at all.

However, Lebanon is ahead of Israel in paramilitary forces. Lebanon has 25,000 paramilitary personnel, while Israel has 8,000. Lebanon is also far behind in air power (i.e. fleet of warships). Israel has only 78 aircraft, while Israel has 601. When it comes to fighter planes, Lebanon has nothing. It has no fighter planes, while Israel has 241.

Likewise, Lebanon has nine dedicated attack aircraft, while Israel has 32. Lebanon has only nine training fighters, while Israel has 153. In addition, Lebanon has 60 helicopters, while Israel has 126. Of these, 48 of Israel’s helicopters are attack helicopters, while Lebanon has none. Even in terms of artillery, the two countries do not compete.

Lebanon has 361 tanks, while Israel has seven times as many, or 2,200 tanks. Lebanon has 9,864 armored vehicles, while Israel has 56,290. Likewise, Lebanon lags behind Israel in self-propelled artillery. Far behind. Lebanon has 84 self-propelled artillery pieces, while Israel has 650. Israel has a large stockpile of ammunition and other war equipment.

Israel also has a much stronger naval force than Lebanon. Lebanon does not have any submarines, while Israel has 5. While neither country has destroyers and frigates, Lebanon has no frigate warships. Israel has 7 such warships. Lebanon has 22 patrol boats, while Israel has 45 such ships. In such a war, Israel would have the upper hand.
