Hezbollah in Lebanon is one of the five superpowers in terms of the number of rockets it possesses, a former Israeli official suggested on Saturday.

Ram Aminach, the former economic advisor to the Israeli Chief of Staff, pointed out that "the Israeli public does not understand the extent of Hezbollah's threats as it has a large stockpile of rockets and is considered one of the five superpowers, alongside the United States, China, Russia, and Germany," Al Mayadeen reported. 

Aminach considered that "Israel" cannot confront Hezbollah without facing the whole of Lebanon.

A couple of days ago, US-based  Media Line news website highlighted that, with tens of thousands of fighters and over 100,000 missiles, Hezbollah poses a "significant military challenge to Israel."

"Hezbollah is an army. It does not have the firepower or sophistication of the Israeli military, but it has the ability to cause significant damage and death," indicated Boaz Shapira, a researcher at the Alma Research and Education Center, The Media Line reported.
