Although there are no official statistics detailing Hezbollah’s military wing in Lebanon, information from open sources reveals some key facts.
Military Personnel
In 2021, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, stated that the group’s military structure consists of approximately 100,000 “trained, organized, and experienced Lebanese men.”
Rocket Arsenal
Hezbollah has more than 1 million rockets of various types. These include precision-guided missiles and Katyusha rockets modified for increased accuracy, as well as anti-tank missiles, according to a recent report by an unidentified Iranian Quds Force officer to Foreign Policy. In 2022, Nasrallah also claimed that Hezbollah has the capability to convert thousands of rockets into precision-guided missiles and produce drones.

Ballistic Missiles
In November 2023, Nasrallah revealed that the group used a Burkhan missile against Israel.
Hezbollah possesses “thousands” of these missiles, which have a range of up to 10 km and cause destruction within a 150-meter radius.
Additionally, the Lebanese group also has ballistic artillery missiles Zelzal-1 and Zelzal-2, as well as short-range missiles Fateh-110, which are mobile and can be transported by road.
