Major General (Reserve) in the Israeli occupation Army, Yitzhak Brick, pointed to a belt surrounding "Israel" consisting of more than 250,000 rockets and missiles, from several directions, Israeli media reported.

Brick described this belt as a ring that strangles "Israel" and includes hundreds of thousands of precision missiles with warheads of hundreds of kilograms, rocket-propelled grenades, and thousands of drones.

The former official pointed to 3,500 missiles and rockets on average per day, with hundreds of Israeli occupation sites destroyed per day, over weeks of fighting.

"This is like a nuclear bomb without nuclear residue," Brick expressed.

He stressed that "Israel" today is in a dangerous situation, adding that the Israeli occupation army has to face thousands of rockets daily, and it has to deal with five fronts in parallel, including Hezbollah and thousands of its commandos who will try to cross "Israel", as well as Syria, Hamas, and the PIJ in the Gaza Strip, in addition to the West Bank with thousands of fighters who will open fire on every road and Israeli settlement.

Brick concluded by saying that the Israeli army is very small, and the bulk of it is incompetent and unable to serve on several fronts simultaneously.

On August 7, "Israel" Hayom's military affairs correspondent Lilach Shoval reported that in a possible confrontation between Hezbollah and the Israeli occupation, Israeli officials "estimate that the conflict will not be limited to one arena alone, with the possibility of flare-ups in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank."

Shoval cited a "nightmare scenario" set by the Israeli security establishment, which mentioned that "Israel will need to deal with an unprecedented number of rockets launched" into occupied Palestinian territory, "with 6,000 missiles in the first days of the war and between 1,500-2,000 onward."

According to Shoval, the scenario does not rule out the possibility of vital Israeli infrastructure being hit and paralyzed.

Elsewhere, the writer indicated that given the above-mentioned scenario, one can perhaps understand the Israeli occupation's reluctance to engage in a war with Hezbollah and "instead opt for moderate reactions."
