Hezbollah's operations are shrouded in secrecy, with estimates of its military capability varying greatly, partly due to its political goal to appear formidable against Israel.
The C.I.A. World Factbook estimated in 2024 that Hezbollah had 50,000 armed combatants, indicating its significant presence as one of the largest militia groups in the region.
Experts suggest that Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, may inflate the group's size and capabilities to bolster its image of power in psychological warfare against Israel.
Hezbollah is said to possess around 150,000 rockets and missiles, making it among the best-armed non-state actors globally, showcasing its military significance.
