media say intelligence agencies estimate Hezbollah has 50,000 combat
fighters with the ability to recruit up to 100,000 people.</p><img src="cid:ii_loqbx6l70" alt="d98166a6-e669-4480-800a-acd0b8232603.jpg" width="392" height="255"><br><div><ul id="gmail-content-slick-0"><div aria-hidden="false"><li>Hezbollah Resistance fighters carry out a training exercise

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

<p>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.</p>
<p><em>Channel 12</em> 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.</p>
<p>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."</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>"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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>
