Hezbollah still has more capabilities of different kinds, confirmed Daniel Hagari, the spokesperson for the Israeli occupation military, on Tuesday.

"Our job is to take care of each of them, but first of all, we are focusing on its strategic capabilities that pose a greater risk to the Israeli home front," Hagari told reporters.

When asked about the length of the Israeli assault on Lebanon, Hagari indicated that the objective is to make it "as short as possible, that’s why we’re attacking with great force. At the same time, we must be prepared for it to take longer."

A couple of hours later, on Wednesday, the occupation military claimed that it intercepted a missile fired from Lebanon after sirens sounded in Tel Aviv.

"Following the sirens that sounded in the Tel Aviv and Netanya areas, one surface-to-surface missile was identified crossing from Lebanon and was intercepted," a military spokesman said.

It marked the first time a missile has targeted Tel Aviv since the Islamic Resistance launched its operations in support of Gaza on October 8, 2023.

This comes as Hezbollah, in defense of Lebanon and its people, continues its strategic operations against key Israeli military bases in occupied lands with various weaponry amid the Israeli aggression on southern Lebanon and the Bekaa region that has killed at least 500 people, injured thousands, and displaced hundreds of thousands.

Hezbollah undefeated, capable of draining 'Israel': Israeli media

Israeli Reserves General Gershon Hacohen pointed out that the battle against Hezbollah is long and complex, highlighting Hezbollah's ability to drain and exhaust the Israeli occupation. 

In his op-ed in the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, Hacohen stressed that "Israel" was "operating with no strategy" against Hezbollah.

On the other hand, Hacohen noted, the Islamic Resistance was strategizing and focusing on "preserving the momentum of attrition" in its hands, regardless of whether the Israeli occupation initiated a ground invasion and positioned its forces along the Litani. 

All Hezbollah needs to maintain the state of attrition is a "large enough arsenal of rockets, missiles, and drones, which it already possesses, and to continue launching them toward Israel," he said.

In this context, Israeli media also asked, "Has Hezbollah been defeated? Will it surrender? The answer is no," emphasizing that Hezbollah calculates its actions and examines the trajectory of the war with every strike.
