Hezbollah missile barrage defies Israeli claim of ‘neutralising’ arsenal
Military analyst Elijah Magnier says Hezbollah’s ability to launch hundreds of rockets and missiles challenges Israel’s claim that “80 percent of Hezbollah’s missile arsenal has been destroyed”.
“This is what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, which demonstrates Israel has failed in its core objective of neutralising Hezbollah missile storage and operational capability,” Magnier told Al Jazeera.
“For Hezbollah to succeed targeting Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel – maintaining this high volume of missile and rocket fire – it demonstrates the ability to endure long conflict, undermining Israeli confidence in its military superiority.”
Asked how Hezbollah is keeping up its current high level of attacks on Israel, Magnier said the Lebanese group has more missiles than what the Israelis thought.
“Hezbollah has a command and control that is robust and it’s operational. It has a good communication system that is also operational among all the various units that are firing these missiles.”
