In a recent interview with Fox, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz mentioned the threat to Israel from Iran’s overseas expansion, particularly the Iranian-backed Lebanese Hezbollah, which has hundreds of thousands of rockets with Iranian support, not including weapons such as suicide Drones and ballistic missiles, and which Iran has been supplying to Hezbollah forces through areas such as Syria.
Gantz also showed a classified target map showing that Hezbollah has hidden many of its rockets in civilian areas near the Israeli border, and that once launched, even Iron Dome, which has the ability to predict where rockets will land, will have difficulty stopping the large number of rockets, and the best way to do so is to destroy them before they are launched. This is a target map. Every single one of them has been checked legally, operationally and Intel-wise, and we are ready to fight.”

The Israeli side just recently concluded the “Rose of Galilee” mock military exercise, in which the Israeli Air Force is believed to be able to attack 3,000 targets in a single day thanks to better weapons, ammunition and command systems, and it expects to keep the war with Hezbollah forces to a few days, in addition to high-intensity bombing. It is likely that ground troops will also be sent into Lebanon, as they have done in the past, with the goal of killing at least 300 armed Hezbollah members every 24 hours.
Thanks to its involvement in the Syrian civil war and the strong support of Iran, the Lebanese Hezbollah forces are now difficult to judge their exact strength, but there is no doubt that their threat to Israel has become even greater, and Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, in addition to constantly declaring, as Iran has done, that he wants to turn Israel into a sea of fire and wipe it off the map, has revealed that Hezbollah forces have hundreds of thousands of missiles (the vast majority of which are rockets) .
Hezbollah, while not ruling out that its high profile anti-Israeli stance is a way to get better access to Iranian aid and that it does not fire rockets from Time to time as Palestinian forces do, does make a number of preparations to attack Israel, including tunnels dug near Israel’s northern border, and the “Northern Shield” operation launched by the Israeli side in late 2018 and early 2019 The Israeli side destroyed several Hezbollah tunnels during the “Northern Shield” operation launched in late 2018 and early September, but it is not certain that all of them were discovered, and in the event of war, Hezbollah forces would likely infiltrate Israel through the tunnels and launch raids, causing considerable problems for the Israeli side.
The Israeli side has been paying close attention to the Lebanese Hezbollah forces through Gantz’s actions, and has spent a lot of resources on intelligence at least. it has lost its threat, it will not stop.
