Israel and Hezbollah are constantly carrying out airstrikes against each other. In such a situation, a situation of war has arisen between Israel and Lebanon. In the latest attack on Sunday, Hezbollah attacked Israel with rockets, missiles and drones. According to a report, Hezbollah fired more than 100 rockets, missiles and drones into northern Israel early Sunday morning, causing chaos there. The attacks are believed to be Hezbollah’s biggest counterattack to date, which the IDF has also confirmed.
The Israel Defense Forces said Hezbollah continues to target its people. More than 140 rockets and drones were fired into the Jezreel Valley on Sunday morning. After this alert was issued near many military bases including Haifa, Nazareth, Afula, Lower Galilee. “Hezbollah terrorists are targeting our citizens,” the IDF wrote on X. Thousands of Israelis have spent the night hiding in bomb shelters. Rockets were raining over their heads. They are also lying on the house of some.
Rocket alert sirens continued throughout the night.
After this attack, Israel has also responded. Hundreds of missiles have been fired from their side as well. However, after the pager and walkie-talkie blasts in Lebanon, the world assumed that Israel would keep quiet for a few days and adopt a wait-and-see strategy to anticipate the next move of its enemies,
but here the swift attacks did just that. He has expressed that he will not stop now. He will not stop until he completely destroys his enemies in this war. His constant attacks are proof of this.
The issue, which started with the pager blasts in Lebanon on September 17, has now extended to airstrikes. Israel is wreaking havoc not only with drones but also with fighter jets.
After the pager and walkie-talkie bombings in Lebanon, Hezbollah fired a few rockets at Israel, but even Hezbollah did not expect Israel to respond so well. Because he was still suffering from the first batch of injuries caused by pager and walkie-talkie explosions.
This is the situation in cities in Israel after the Hizbullah attack.
The fires of war between Israel and Hezbollah are likely to flare up after these attacks. If the case escalates, it will not only reach Israel and Hezbollah, but Israel and Lebanon.
In such a situation, what will be the consequences if the two countries have a face-to-face war? Where does Lebanon compare to Israel in terms of military strength? So let’s try to understand this potential of both the countries.
Israel and Lebanon share a border of about 130 kilometers.
It is the northern part of Israel and the southern part of Lebanon. It is also known as Blue Line. But although Israel is frequently challenged by Hezbollah, which thrives on Lebanese soil, Lebanon is no match for Israel in terms of military power. Speaking of the Global Firepower Index, Israel ranks 18th out of 145 countries in the world included in it, while Lebanon ranks 111th. That means there is no competition between the capabilities of the two countries.
Now let us try to understand the strength of both the countries on different parameters. If we talk about the number of soldiers of both countries, Lebanon is not equal to Israel.
Lebanon has only 80 thousand soldiers, while Israel has 173 thousand soldiers. That is more than double. Similarly, Israel has 465,000 reserve forces, while Lebanon has no reserves at all.
But Lebanon is ahead of Israel in terms of paramilitary forces. Lebanon has 25,000 paramilitary force personnel, while Israel has 8,000. Lebanon is also far behind in air power ie fleet of warships. It has only 78 aircraft, while Israel has 601 aircraft.
Lebanon’s hands are completely empty when it comes to fighter jets. It does not have a single fighter jet, while Israel has 241 aircraft.
Similarly, Lebanon has 9 dedicated attack aircraft, while Israel has 32. Lebanon has only 9 training fighter jets, while Israel has 153 training fighter jets. In addition, Lebanon has 60 helicopters, while Israel has 126. Of these, Israel has 48 attack helicopters, while Lebanon has no attack helicopters. Even in artillery there is no competition between the two countries.
Lebanon has 361 tanks, while Israel has 7 times more, 2200 tanks. Lebanon has 9864 armored vehicles, while Israel has 56290 armored vehicles. Likewise, Lebanon lags behind Israel in terms of self-propelled artillery. far back Lebanon has 84 self-propelled artillery, while Israel has 650. Israel has large stockpiles of ammunition and other war equipment.
