Prime Minister Netanyahu said Monday evening that Hezbollah retains only about 8% of the estimated 150,000 rockets and missiles it possessed before the war. The figure is an on-record Israeli assessment from a single leader, according to Abu Ali Express.
Prime Minister Netanyahu stated Monday evening that Hezbollah's rocket and missile arsenal has been reduced to 8% of its pre-war stockpile of 150,000, a claim reported by Abu Ali Express. The assessment, if accurate, aligns with the broader security trend of Hezbollah degradation that Israel has reported over recent months. As previously covered by The Zioneer, Netanyahu has asserted that both Iran and Hezbollah are 'weaker than ever' (June 8) and separately said Israel has eliminated nearly 10,000 Hezbollah operatives (June 10). This latest figure is a single-source statement by the Prime Minister and has not been independently verified against intelligence or military briefings. No further details were provided on the timeline of the depletion or the types of remaining munitions.
