“Israel” Preparing for next War with Modern Hezbollah: Most Updated, Relevant ‘Army’

Local Editor

In preparation for a possible war with Hezbollah,  the “Israeli” army ground forces are implementing an unprecedented four-dimensional 'combined battle' strategy.

 Over the past few days, the “Israeli” army has been carrying out the most extensive training exercises conducted by the 36th Armored Division, including the 7th Armored Brigade.

According to Ynet report, The "Gideon" battlegroup—a combat brigade that includes thousands of “Israeli” soldiers—is training in the Occupied Golan Heights for a possible confrontation with what it named as “modern Hezbollah”.

“Militarily, the Lebanon-based group is an army in every sense. It is advanced, fast, mobile and combative,” it added, pointing out that the Lebanese Resistance “has a high operational self-confidence and has gained rich experience from four years of fighting” in Syria.

The Hebrew daily underscored that “Hezbollah now has new military capabilities, such as the ability to maneuver forces into enemy territory, drafting large forces in rapid speed, and more.”

It further underscored that “The organization, recently described by a senior officer in the Northern Command as "the strongest army in the Middle East after the “Israeli” army, has received a new arsenal of weapons: special and high-quality night vision devices, electronic combat weapons, and hundreds of drones and UAVs, along with mortars carrying half a ton of explosives, and heavy rockets.

 The “Israeli” army will practice fighting in the underground, cyber warfare, and prepare for shooting from rooftops or from high-rise building windows.

In addition, the Gideon battlegroup will implement an invisible network on the battlefield that includes 24 intelligence planes that can detect anything that emits a signal.

The battleground will include dozens of aircraft—the air force's rescue and evacuation helicopters, logistic drones, observation drones, and more.

According to a senior officer in the ground forces, "this is not a fantasy, we are looking ahead… each division will have its own communications and logistical capabilities."

"We are training the forces against the most updated and relevant enemy," said a senior officer in the ground forces.

"We set up a special battalion that includes about 400 fighters, and deployed them throughout the Golan Heights in order to simulate the capabilities Hezbollah has today," the officer added.
