Israel's airstrikes, which have continued since last month, have reportedly destroyed half of various weapons, including missiles stockpiled by Lebanese militant Hezbollah for 30 years.

The New York Times reported on the 1st local time, citing US and Israeli government officials, that Hezbollah has asked Iran and Syria for support to fill its weapons inventory.

Israel, which has been operating "Arrow to the North" since late last month, is said to have destroyed about half of Hezbollah's estimated 120,000 to 200,000 ballistic missiles in its intensive airstrikes on Hezbollah's military assets.

But Hezbollah can still put a significant strain on Israel's anti-aircraft networks with only remaining ballistic missiles, and it has major powers, including missiles and drones, in a web-like network of underground tunnels it has built in preparation for Israeli airstrikes.

Even in this situation, the U.S. analyzes that one of the reasons why Hezbollah does not immediately launch a full-scale counterattack is seen as the collapse of the command system.

However, some predict that Hezbollah will launch a full-scale counterattack as soon as it receives weapons aid, as it has enough human resources to quickly fill the missing leadership.
