The war between Israel and Hamas has been going on for the last one month. The Israeli army is carrying out rapid attacks on the Gaza Strip to eliminate Hamas terrorists. Hamas and Hezbollah have united against Israel. Hamas is a terrorist organization of Palestine while Hezbollah is a terrorist organization of Lebanon. Hezbollah considers Israel its main enemy.
Recently, terrorist organization Hezbollah had warned Israel not to escalate the war. Hezbollah had threatened that it would attack Israel in such a way that it would not be able to respond to it. Last month, Hezbollah targeted military targets across the border from Lebanon.
What is Hezbollah and where is it in Lebanon?
Hezbollah is a Shia Muslim organization that is politically influential in Lebanon. It is also in control of the most powerful armed forces in Lebanon. Hezbollah was founded by Iran in the 1980s to oppose Israel. At that time, during the country's civil war, the Israeli army had captured southern Lebanon. It has been designated a terrorist organization by Western states, Israel, the Gulf Arab states and the Arab League. According to the Tank Center for Strategic and International Studies, Hezbollah is one of the most heavily armed terrorist organizations in the world.
Who is Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah?
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah is a Shia cleric who has led Hezbollah since 1992. He played an important role in transforming it into a political and military force. Hassan Nasrallah has close ties with Iran and its supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran's first supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, appointed him as his personal representative in Lebanon. Nasrallah has not appeared in public for years due to fear of being assassinated by Israel.
How powerful are Hezbollah's forces?
Hezbollah is one of the most heavily armed non-state military forces in the world. The leader of this terrorist organization, Hassan Nasrallah, has claimed that he has 100,000 fighters. However independent estimates range between 20,000 and 50,000. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank, it has an estimated 130,000 rockets and missiles.
Could Hezbollah go to war with Israel?
Since the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel, Hezbollah has been attacking military targets in northern Israel. Hezbollah fired rockets at Israeli positions, fired missiles at the port and also attacked military targets with explosive drones. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have retaliated against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, using airstrikes, tanks and artillery.
the courage to face America
Amidst the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel, America warned Iran and Hezbollah that if Israel is attacked, it is also ready to participate in the war. A few days ago, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had threatened America that the Iran-backed terrorist organization is not afraid of American warships.
