Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant reported that Hezbollah's missile and rocket capabilities have been significantly reduced to approximately 20% of what they were prior to the conflict that escalated on October 7. In a situational assessment at the IDF Northern Command, Gallant emphasized that Hezbollah's remaining arsenal is disorganized, hindering the group's ability to launch large-scale attacks. He noted that while this reduction is a notable achievement for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Hezbollah still possesses around 30,000 rockets, indicating a continued threat despite the drastic decrease in their capabilities. Gallant's assessment highlights the impact of the ongoing conflict on Hezbollah's operational capacity.
