Last month, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Hezbollah's 'increasing' aggression 'is bringing us to the brink of what could be a wider escalation, one that could have devastating consequences for Lebanon and the entire region.'
If tensions were to spill over into a full-blown armed conflict, Israel would require a greater need for ammunition, putting intense pressure on the West's already strained artillery production, experts told Business Insider.
'The West is already under significant pressure just to meet the artillery demand for the Ukraine war,' Raphael Cohen, director of the Strategy and Doctrine Program of RAND Project Air Force, told BI.
'Redirecting artillery to Israel would exacerbate the supply problems (in the West) and could impact Ukraine's battlefield capabilities,' said Kathryn Levantovscaia, deputy director in the Forward Defense program of the Atlantic Council's Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security.
