Shock report about Hezbollah's arsenal!

The latest report by the country's services regarding Hezbollah's arsenal brought bad news to Israel. In the event of a conflict between the IDF and the Lebanese organization, US involvement and, by extension, a major regional war must be considered more than a given.
And that's because the IDF may suddenly find itself fighting on five fronts once it has committed much of its forces to Gaza.
That is why last night, even though it was a Sunday, the US President Biden, hurriedly called and spoke with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sunak, the Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, the French President Macron, the German Chancellor Scholz and the Prime Minister of Italy, Meloni, on the situation in the Middle East.
Gathering all these leaders of NATO member countries in a group chat is just not good.
They were briefed on the latest unpleasant developments and the impending generalization of the conflict. The US is increasingly mired in the Middle East crisis.
On the other hand, the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, is going to Iran, while China's special envoy for the Middle East emphasized that " the situation in Gaza is very serious, the risk of a large-scale land conflict is increasing. Armed conflicts along the Israel-Lebanese and Israel-Syria borders are also spreading with alarming prospect."
Israeli shock report on Hezbollah
According to recent Israeli estimates, Hezbollah has tens of thousands of long-range missiles that reach central Israel – and beyond that, an extensive array of attack drones, advanced anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles, and a commando force whose targets include "occupation of Galilee"
"Hezbollah has more missiles in its hands than most governments in the world, and we are watching it very closely," said the then US Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, in a joint press conference with his colleague Ehud Barak.
The year was 2010 and since then Hezbollah has continued to grow stronger. The Lebanese group's stockpile of missiles and various assets has been expanded and upgraded with the enthusiastic help of Iran and thanks to the experience it gained when it helped save Bashar Assad's rule in the Syrian war.
According to the latest estimates, Hezbollah has about 150,000 missiles and rockets. The majority have a range of several tens of kilometers, but according to various reports, a significant percentage of them have a range of hundreds of kilometers.
Hezbollah is the world's most heavily armed sub-state actor, with a large and diverse stockpile of "dumb" artillery missiles, including ballistic missiles, anti-aircraft (NAM), anti-tank (NT) and anti-ship missiles, the study completed in 2018 at the Center said Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington (CSIS), in a comprehensive report they compiled on the deadly arsenal located north of Israel.
In a conversation with the Israeli media, Haaretz, this week, one of the researchers, Sha'an Sheikh, warned that Hezbollah's involvement in Syria "raises the fear that the organization has been equipped with standoff missiles that are more advanced and precision-guided missiles, whether they come from Syria, Iran or Russia.”
According to a recent publication by the National Security Research Institute, Hezbollah has about 40,000 short-range Grad missiles, about 80,000 Fajr 3 and 5, medium-range Hebar or Raad missiles, and about thirty thousand long-range Zilzal or Fatah 110 missiles.
According to the report, Hezbollah also received a limited number of Scud C and D missiles from Syria.
"Several hundred Fatah 110 missiles, carrying around 500 kilograms of explosives, are equipped with precise GPS-based navigation mechanisms and have significant accuracy and destructive capabilities."
The IDF and Defense Ministry estimate that in a future war with Hezbollah, the group could fire several thousand rockets in the first few days and continue to fire about 1,500 rockets a day at Israel throughout the fighting.
In 2006, Hezbollah fired about 200 rockets every day.
In recent years, the agency has invested most of its energy in what has been dubbed the "Accuracy Project" — a concerted effort to add guidance systems to "dumb" missiles and transform them from a "statistical" weapon into one that can target and directly strike strategic targets such as headquarters, bases, power stations and concentrations of power.
Along with Hezbollah's formidable artillery arsenal, the organization also has large stockpiles of anti-aircraft missiles, including MANPADS that are primarily suited to strikes against helicopters and aircraft.
Hezbollah also has much heavier anti-aircraft systems - which include radars and launchers - capable of hitting aerial targets at a range of 50 km and at an altitude of 24 km.
One of the heaviest blows suffered by the IDF in the Second Lebanon War came from Hezbollah's extensive array of anti-tank missiles, particularly the Kornet missiles, among the most advanced ever developed by Russia.
Alongside Hezbollah's massive missile arrays, for twenty years the organization has been developing its own drones, some Iranian and some locally made, capable of carrying weapons under the wings or being used as kamikaze drones with a heavy warhead.
The Alma Research Institute estimates that Hezbollah possesses a total of about 2,000 drones of various types, including civilian drones that have been converted to carry weapons.
The Radwan Force – Aim to take Galilee
At the same time, Hezbollah maintains a commando unit - the "Radwan Force" - which will be the spearhead in the event of war with Israel, and may try to "conquer the Galilee", in a plan similar to what the Hamas in the south two weeks ago.
The unit has about 2,500 people training in Lebanon and Iran, including parachute and boat training. Many of them gained experience in the war in Syria.
The soldiers of the Radwan force appear to be far more skilled than the average Hezbollah fighter, with training provided by the Saberein Commandos, a battalion of Iran's Al Quds Force, a branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
In 2018, the IDF uncovered tunnels that cut through the fence and were supposed to allow the force to infiltrate unhindered and attack IDF settlements and outposts deep in the Galilee.
October 7, 2023 proved once again that the tunnels are only one way out of many.
