  • Hezbollah dual threat for 'Israel'; Massive firepower, Rodwan forces

Hezbollah is considered the organization with the "most powerful firepower in the world," Israeli Channel 12 said in a report on Wednesday based on assessments conducted by Israeli spy agencies regarding the military capabilities of the Lebanese Resistance party.

The Israeli outlet pointed out that Israeli intelligence agencies' estimations indicate that Hezbollah "comprises at least 50,000 fighters, with the potential to recruit a maximum number of 100,000 fighters  from activists and supporters," adding that this number consists of "2,500 fighters from the Radwan elite force."

Furthermore, Hezbollah possesses "between 150,000 and 200,000 rockets, projectiles, and mortar shells," the report said, citing details and figures provided by the Israeli intelligence.

Channel 12 emphasized that the most significant threat to the Israeli entity is the hundreds or even thousands of heavy warhead-tipped missiles with high precision that Hezbollah owns, which Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had threatened to use against strategic facilities within the entity.

On the other hand, the Arab affairs correspondent for the channel, Ohad Khemo, warned that there is "nothing reassuring about these numbers, and this threat looms from the north."

He called for an understanding that "there is a very significant enemy here with firepower capabilities unparalleled in European countries," recalling statements from the former army chief Gadi Eisenkot.

Khemo emphasized that the precise missiles possessed by Hezbollah are "a big thing", suggesting that the Resistance has large numbers of precise missiles capable of achieving a 10-meter accuracy.

"This is crucial because you can use a missile like this with GPS and hit a specific important point in Israel," he said, highlighting the presence of numerous strategic Israeli locations that Hezbollah could target using these precision missiles.

He noted that Hezbollah posed a "dual threat", explaining that firstly, the party is a missile threat with massive firepower, and as per Israeli intelligence, it is capable of launching 3,000 missiles and rockets a day, some even estimating over 5,000.

The second threat discussed by Khemo is the elite Radwan Force, which has been reportedly deployed in southern Lebanon in recent months, according to his remarks in the discussion. He called for a focus on the fact that Hezbollah fighters have accumulated major experience in their participation in the war on Syria alongside the Syrian army.
