Israel, which has been at war with Hamas in Gaza for the past one year, is now directly facing Hezbollah. While the Israeli army has the support of many western countries including the US, Hezbollah has the open support of Iran. It will not be easy for Israel, which has been at war with Hamas in Gaza for the past one year, to overcome Hezbollah. Israel has declared an emergency due to the continuous attacks by Hezbollah on Israel. Today, on Sunday, Israel did not suffer much damage in the attack carried out by Hezbollah, but it has paved the way for further war.
This attack by Hezbollah on Israel has added more confusion to the Middle East war instead of resolving it. Now the possibility of the war in Gaza spreading to Lebanon has increased. Iran directly supports Hezbollah and Iran is ready to take revenge from Israel. In such a situation, the possibility of Iran joining Hezbollah has increased.
How powerful is Hezbollah? Will it be able to compete with Israel?
The rivalry between Hezbollah, which flourished under the patronage of Iran, and Israel is not new. Both have been spewing venom against each other. Hezbollah’s power in Lebanon is so much that many of its members are ministers and hold high positions in the Lebanese government. Hezbollah is a non-governmental organization equipped with the most lethal weapons in the world. Hezbollah has the most accurate rockets, missiles and drones. There are many such weapons in Hezbollah’s arsenal that can attack any part of Israel. Hezbollah has the largest lethal drone, which can strike up to 2000 km.
As far as air defense system is concerned, Hezbollah has portable air defense system and can easily stop surface-to-air missiles. Hezbollah had claimed that it has an army of about 1 lakh fighters, who have the power to destroy Israel at its one signal. Hezbollah, which attacks Israel with thousands of rockets, can also dodge Israel’s Iron Dome and if it gets open support from Iran, it will be a problem for Israel.
How much is Israel’s power, will it wreak havoc in Lebanon after Gaza
According to the Global Fire Power report, Israel has 6.46 lakh soldiers, out of which 1.70 lakh are active soldiers who are tested in the ongoing war in Gaza and other places. As far as tanks are concerned, Israel has more than 1 thousand tanks and more than 45 thousand armored vehicles and more than 650 self-prepared artillery. Which are capable of stopping any army around them. Apart from this, Israel has a strong navy and nuclear weapons.
Talking about air power, Israel has about 146 helicopters and 48 attack helicopters, while it has 241 fighter aircrafts, whose power the world has seen in Gaza. Israel also has its strongest defense shield, Iron Dome, which protects it from small attacks. Today, Israel did not suffer much in the attack of 300 rockets by Hezbollah because most of the rockets were destroyed by Iron Dome on the way.
In a face-to-face confrontation between Hezbollah and Israel, Israel wins but if Iran comes behind Hezbollah, then Israel may face problems. But as has been the case in history, whenever Israel needs help or it becomes weak, then Western countries and America come to its aid.
