Israeli media reports reveal that Hezbollah retains significant military capabilities, despite facing blows, including a vast missile arsenal and an effective fleet of drones that bypasses all IOF early detection systems.

Israeli media acknowledged that a number of elite Israeli occupation forces sought refuge in a sewage canal, fearing Hezbollah's missile attacks.

Channel 14 reported that the soldiers had no choice but to hide in the sewage canal due to the lack of shelters and protected spaces in a large central military base. This happened after a missile fire from Lebanon triggered sirens in central "Israel".

According to the report, Israeli military officials at the Binyamina base, south of occupied Haifa, criticized the military leadership, stating, "Is the Chief of Staff waiting for another disaster? We are completely exposed and helpless."

Israeli media emphasized on Tuesday that Hezbollah has more surprises up its sleeve, commenting that the leadership in “Israel” is selling Israelis illusions about its ability to destroy the capabilities that Hezbollah has accumulated for years.

Israeli leadership disillusioned

The Israeli news outlet, Kan TV, reported that a year after the most difficult and humiliating military strike that "Israel" received, the Israeli occupation's leadership refuses to learn from its mistakes.

The channel criticized the arrogance of Israeli military officials, who have been claiming that Hezbollah is collapsing "like a house of cards."

The report added that similar rhetoric was used concerning Hamas, where officials said Hamas had been deterred after the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip in 2021. However, the Resistance's Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7 proved otherwise, as Hamas, which was considered "weak and deterred," delivered "Israel" one of the most painful blows since its occupation of Palestine.

Hezbollah's significant capabilities

The Israeli channel also confirmed that despite enduring harsh blows, Hezbollah has not collapsed and remains capable of causing serious damage to "Israel". The group still possesses a massive stockpile of rockets and missiles.

"After its warnings in previous statements and the Hoopoe video, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon targeted a training camp of the Golani Brigade south of Haifa," the report stated.

The channel also pointed out that Hezbollah has underground fortifications and command and control systems built in anticipation of a potential scenario, which allowed Hezbollah to quickly resume launching more organized and heavier rocket salvoes toward "Israel".

Furthermore, Hezbollah "possesses an effective fleet of drones that have repeatedly evaded Israeli detection systems, as well as an elite force known as Radwan."

The channel noted that Hezbollah is "forcing residents [settlers] of Haifa and Karyot into bomb shelters twice a day, and its drones infiltrate deep into Israel, exploding in military areas and causing significant losses to Israeli forces."

Growing threat posed by Hezbollah's drones

Hezbollah's drone strike on an Israeli military base in central "Israel" exposes a hole in "Israel's" air defense system, which has difficulty dealing with this type of threat, according to military officials, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Current and former military officials said that "Israel" is struggling to come up with adequate solutions to counter Hezbollah drones, especially in the early detection phase.
