Hezbollah, a Shia Islamist group based in Lebanon and backed by Iran, is considered one of the most heavily armed non-state groups globally. The group has been engaged in confrontations with Israeli forces along Lebanon’s southern border, raising concerns about a potential regional conflict.
While Israel possesses a superior military, Hezbollah's arsenal, which includes missiles with a range of up to 500 kilometers, poses a significant threat. These missiles could potentially bypass Israel’s Iron Dome defense system, causing damage to Israel and its allies in the region.
