Hezbollah launches new attacks on two Israeli bases

Alwaght- Just contrary to attempts by some media to downplay the recent revenge operation of Lebanese Hezbollah against the Israeli regime, the reality is that the Israelis themselves acknowledge the scale of the damage caused by the attacks. This report, citing reports by Israeli media and also Aljazeera and BBC, aims to shed light on the scale of the Israeli damages and casualties during their confrontation with Hezbollah:

$120 million, the costs of preemptive measures against Hezbollah

The Israeli Globes economic website reported that the preemptive early Sunday morning of Israel against Hezbollah cost Tel Aviv around $120 million. Citing a senior official at the Israeli military industries, this website reported that about 4,000 JDAM bombs, each costing $25000, were used by Israeli air force. This Israeli official estimated the cost of the operation against Hezbollah with about 100 warplanes for 6 hours at $18 million, adding that in this operation, drones were used for 12 hours, and these drones cost the Israelis about $1.08 million.

Despite these costs, it seems that Israel's recent so-called preemptive operation has not been able to reduce Hezbollah's anti-Israeli activities and attacks, and the operations of this Lebanese resistance movement against the Israelis are still ongoing. Hezbollah chief Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah in his recent remarks stressed on the continuation of confronting the Israeli occupation. 

Non-preemptive attack 

Despite Israel's staggering costs in carrying out preemptive attacks against Hezbollah, many Israeli newspaper writers believe that Israel's claim of a "preemptive response" to Hezbollah will not help improve the situation. Ben Caspit, a famous Israeli writer, in an article published by Maariv newspaper accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant of choosing a fruitless solution against Hezbollah, adding that the recent operation was not a preemptive war, nor a preemptive strike because it did not improve Tel Aviv’s strategic position on the northern front. This author criticized the Israeli army's decision to carry out a preemptive strike against Hezbollah and described it as pointless. 

10 months of war, 10 months of damage to Israel 

On the other hand, the 10-month battle and operation of Hezbollah forces against the Israeli occupiers amid Gaza war has caused numerous economic and military damages to the Israelis. A BBC research has explained the amount of damage inflicted on the Israeli regime in the last 10 months due to the operations of Hezbollah.

7,491 attacks: The total number of the attacks launched by the two sides on the two sides of the border 

60,000 displaced Israelis: In Israel, Israeli officials say, 60,000 civilians have been forced to flee their homes in northern areas because of Hezbollah attacks. 

34 deaths: The BBC confirms that Hezbollah attacks have so far killed 34 Israelis, including 10 civilians. 

271 Injured: Hezbollah attacks have injured at least 271 Israelis, including 242 military personnel. 

1,091 fired missiles in a month: Aljazeera reports that last month, 1,091 missiles were fired at Israel by Hezbollah, three times the number of missiles launched since the beginning of war. 

1,016 housing units damaged: According to the Israeli defense ministry, over the past 10 months, 1,016 residential units in Israel have been damaged, 75 percent of which was caused by Hezbollah's rockets, bullets and attack drones. The rest of the damages were also caused by the activity of the Israeli military forces in this area.

4,400 damage compensation demands: Hezbollah attacks on the occupied territories have also led to 4,400 demands in damage compensation. 

1.6 billion shekel in damage to tourism sector: These attacks imposed 1.6 billion ($436 million) in damage on the Israeli tourism sector. 

55 square kilometer burned lands: Large swaths of land have burned in Lebanon and Israel because of war. BBC estimates that the occupied Golan Heights have taken the biggest damage. In other reports by Aljazeera, the size of the areas burned because of war in the occupied territories reaches up to 180 acres.
