They can hit with ballistics: how dangerous is Hezbollah for Israel Petro Sineokiy

Lebanese Hezbollah fighters have combat experience. However, the Israeli army is also much stronger than it was, say, a year ago.

A 24 Channel Israeli political scientist, IDF reserve lieutenant colonel Arie Zaiden told about this, noting that Hezbollah is a dangerous group. But there are nuances.

Why is Hezbollah dangerous

As Zaiden noted, Hezbollah has a stockpile of ballistic missiles and drones of various types, which they are capable of launching at Israel. Therefore, first of all, this group is dangerous for civilians.

In addition, Hezbollah fighters have combat experience. They fought on the side of Bashar al-Assad in the civil war in Syria. But the IDF also gained experience in the fight against Hamas in Gaza.

For Hezbollah, the IDF is now a more difficult enemy than it was a year ago. They understand this well. This is one of the reasons why they do not want to escalate this war. They do not want the IDF air force to hit southern Lebanon, parts of Beirut, etc., the political scientist said.

On July 27, Lebanese Hezbollah launched a missile attack on Israel. It is known that one of the flights hit a football field. At least 12 people died there. All of them were children aged 10 to 20. On July 28, Israeli aircraft struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in response.
