The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah - announced that its fighters carried out nine operations so far across the Lebanese-Palestinian border, declaring them in support of the steadfast people of Palestine and their brave Resistance, and in defense of South Lebanon, its villages, homes, and civilians, against the continuous Israeli aggression.

All-out war with Hezbollah would paralyze 'Israel': ex-Mossad official

In an interview with Israel Hayom, Haim Tomer, a former senior official at the Mossad's Intelligence and Special Task Force, expressed his pessimism about "Israel" surviving an all-out war with the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon. 

He warned that declaring an all-out war on Lebanon now, following eight months of aggression on Gaza, will jeopardize "Israel's" functionality as an occupation entity — economically, socially, and internationally. He emphasizes that the "public must grasp the threat an all-out war poses to Israel's Zionist vision".

Discussing the threat posed by Hezbollah, Tomer argued, "They have precision missiles that can blow up Israel's gas fields in seconds, for all that implies. Israel has no answer to both Hamas and Hezbollah. Certainly not for the amount of drones that Hezbollah has. In addition, the Israeli Air Force is no longer free to operate over Lebanon because of the detection system that Iran equipped Nasrallah with." He further highlighted the occupation's weakness in the face of Hezbollah at this point. 

Tomer admitted that Hezbollah's tactical and military capabilities shouldn't be underestimated, stressing that "They have better tactical intelligence than Israel, or at least not inferior to Israel's. It is not certain that the Israeli systems that have been developed know how to respond. It is a question of how much and to what extent Hezbollah will attack us."

He suggested that "Hezbollah has a stockpile of various rockets amounting to 100,000 to 150,000 warheads. If they wanted, they would know how to fire 1,500 rockets every day in the first days of the fighting, and after ten days they would barely scratch 10 percent of their arsenal. If such a scenario happens, we will not have a full response."
